AUKUS will not make Australia safer.

It makes Australia more vulnerable and compromises our ability to make independent decisions about our own security.

Jade has seen climate damage up close - from fires on Kangaroo Island to the SA algal blooms.

It’s time to COMMIT to phasing out fossil fuels and protecting what we love.

Perry's Stadium Analysis Raises Serious Questions About Independence - Tasmanian Times The 22 October Public Accounts Committee hearing into Coordinator-General John Perry’s controversial stadium opinion piece has raised serious questions about the independence of his analysis and the u...

This should be front page news and cause outraged laughter whenever the figures are quoted by the government.

Cost blowout criticised as stadium debate rages in Tasmanian parliament In the first Question Time since the release of the Tasmanian Planning Commission's damning report on the Hobart AFL stadium, the Labor Party questioned the government's ability to deliver the stadium...

The cost blowout continues. The fact is, while the parliament is meant to be voting on this crazy project in November, the government will not know the cost of the project until final contracts are signed later next year. The biggest blank cheque in Tasmania’s history.#nonewstadium

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change. Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

A great question. I just asked ChatGPT and the answer given was: “So, if you’re looking for the closest thing to a “year the Bible became gospel truth,” many scholars point to 367 CE, with Athanasius’ letter, or 397 CE, when the Council of Carthage formally ratified the New Testament canon.”

The Bible says nothing about musical instruments. Revelation 22:2 describes heaven as “on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month”. Heaven is more of a farm, not a concert hall. Get back to work picking that fruit!

Hmm. Maybe we were all eligible and this is actually heaven. Perhaps the place was over hyped due to dodgy advertising.

I have a question for US politico-theology experts. The #rapture is due any minute now. Are we expecting more Democrat or Republican senators to be zoomed up to heaven? Is this part of God’s plan to have Trump impeached?

Tasmanian Labor. Nothing. Just nothing. #politas #auspol

The government have announced the 2035 Climate Targets will be 62-70% emissions reduction.

This is not enough. After the release of the alarming National Climate Risk Assessment, we are ashamed and disappointed the government has set such a dangerously low target.

Tasmanian Labor's Winter boxed in by 'no deal with Greens' stance If Tasmanian Labor leader Dean Winter was hoping for an endorsement from voters, the recent election could hardly have gone worse — now, it is looking increasingly difficult for him to find a way forw...

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07... Winter is in a pickle of his own making. He's hoping the Greens will prefer a Labor government to a Liberal one without getting anything in return. If he doesn't win the race for the premiership then he should step down as Labor's leader. #politas

Out of frustration of how the conversation is so single focused in Tasmania I wrote this piece published in today’s media.

I have Multiple Myeloma—an incurable form of blood cancer. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is largely responsible for MM no longer being an automatic death sentence, but a manageable chronic condition! This move is indefensible and unforgivable!

Tasmanian debt to be $3 billion worse than Liberal projection, Treasury finds The blame game begins after Tasmania's Treasury finds the 2028 state debt will be $3 billion worse than predicted in the May state budget.

It just gets worse 13BN debt by 27-28 with interest repayments at 697M. (debt does not include off the books debt). This govt is beyond incompetent Labor can't crow. they have no solutions. Boot them all out and let the grown ups govern. #politas

I continue to get the same responses on the doors. A Liberal friend has also told me that their candidates are getting big pushback about the stadium on the doors.

I think Labor will wriggle a bit on their support. Dean Winter has said they are open to other proposals, “particularly if the finance and engineering of the Premier’s proposal doesn’t work”.
