More than 30 little penguins found dead

The Parks and Wildlife Service has launched an investigation after 34 carcasses were found at Doctors Rocks near Wynyard on Tasmania's north-west coast.

Initial reports suggest the birds may have died as the result of a dog attack.

It comes after more than 18 little penguins were found dead at Ulverstone's Picnic Point in May, with another 80 killed in three separate dog attacks on the state's north coast at Low Head in the past year.

The penguin carcasses will now be taken for examination to confirm the cause of death.

Luke Davies, Magnus Ritter, Aleksander Drobnjak and Anthony Roche died while on a fishing trip in July 2016.

The bodies of Mr Davies and Mr Ritter were found the next day, and Mr Drobnjak's a week after that.

Mr Roche's body and the 4.9 metre runabout have never been found.

The coroner has been probing the condition of the second-hand boat, its safety equipment and recreational boating regulations.

At the inquest in May, the coroner heard the men's boat had a high-powered engine, no radio and no EPIRB.

Mr Cooper will hand down his findings at 2:15pm.

In a statement, Archbishop of Hobart Julian Porteous said he would take time to look at the bill's implications, but said it was a positive step forward.

Equality Tasmania activist Rodney Croome said he was angry the new legislation would override Tasmania's Anti-Discrimination Act.

"I am really disappointed with this legislation because it rolls back important discrimination and hate speech protections," he said.

The State Government is looking into how the draft bill interacts with Tasmanian law.

Quest to help three-year-old Eleanor

A Tasmanian family raising money to take their three-year-old daughter to the United States for cancer treatment are on track to meet their goal of $300,000.

In January last year, Eleanor Oakley was diagnosed with a rare, stage-four high-risk neuroblastoma — a cancer made up of cells that are found in nerve tissue.

Eleanor's family moved to Melbourne for her treatment, where she was given the all clear in April this year.

She has since relapsed and they are raising money to take her to the US for a clinical drug trial which may improve her chances of survival.

In just 10 days, an online fundraising campaign has amassed nearly $257,000 of their target which will allow them to make the trip.

Her uncle Will Oakley said colleagues of his brother Mark in the Tasmanian Fire Service had agreed to donate backpay from a recent pay rise to help the cause.
