Arts students and lab technician students will leave the state to find more affordable courses interstate. There will be nobody to teach so teachers will lose their jobs. So much for keeping youth in the state. #politas

Vale to a Tasmanian legend. Photographer, raconteur, Devonport icon. Rest well Lordy. #politas

This is abhorrent, Wybalenna is a sacred site. Surely it would have to be easy to identify those responsible and hold them to account #politas

Looks like Labor is the right path for continuing irrelevance. Grow up - www.themercury.com.au/news/tasmani... #politas

Tasmanian MPs to receive $30,000 pay rise after upper house tussle Tasmanian politicians will receive a 22 per cent pay rise despite the government's attempts to block it, after upper house MPs voted to accept a determination by Tasmania's Industrial Commission.

If the Liberals and Labor is so opposed to their pay increase (www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...) they could pool the difference between their current salaries and the increase and help pay for the stadium, yes? Based on crude maths Lib/Lab members = 30 * additional $20k after tax = $600k p.a. #politas

Absorbing the cost will be like putting a band aid on a severed limb - $1.8 billion over 10 years to service the debt + costs not yet factored in has to come at the expense of something. And all for football ... yep we've got our priorities right #politas

Breaking: Hobart stadium shouldn't proceed, planning commission recommends The proposed Macquarie Point AFL stadium in Hobart should not proceed, a long-awaited assessment from the Tasmanian Planning Commission recommends.

OMG! This is not what I was expecting. Happy to be proved wrong. Question is what happens now? Will the parliament just ignore this? #politas

Or, you know, maybe they could actually just be better and offer a real alternative. Just a thought. #politas

Preciously silly anti-Hare-Clark op ed in the thief paper today. I've updated my recent article with comments on it kevinbonham.blogspot.com/2025/09/hare... #politas

Hare-Clark! Why Do We Have It? Are There Any Alternative Approaches?

Giving voice to the voiceless. Hobart, Tasmania. #freepalestine #politas

The Australian Government paying hundreds of millions of dollars to Nauru to forcibly disappear migrants is immoral and illegal under international law, and outrageously expensive #auspol #politas

I am very distressed to report that the Big Spud at Sassafrass appears to have closed. Fortunately, it seems Kenny the Kennebec is safe for now - still proudly prodded on display #politas

It's well overdue, but the new Spirit is finally on its way home #politas

A classic case of treating the symptom, not the disease #politas

Josh Willie is the new leader of Tasmanian Labor with Janie Finlay deputy. #politas

My general rule is that if parties are wanting to change something about the electoral system, it's usually because it will benefit them #politas

From Winter’s comments today you could be forgiven for thinking that the only real “value” Tas Labor has is enabling dying or poorly run industries. Chanting “jobs jobs jobs” no matter the circumstances is not leadership, it’s just… stupid. And the electorate isn’t buying it any more. #politas

Labor: Should we just get on with it. Nah, let’s double down on the silly. #politas

10 for Butler; 25 for Petrusma #politas

It reeks of Labor HQ interstate calling the shots. They have no idea how Tasmania works #politas

Labor’s statement continues to display the petulant child behaviour we’ve now come to expect. Grow up. Your losing even more progressives and certainly not winning anyone over with this kind of nonsense #politas

Some people already starting to refer to a "Liberal/Green coalition" on account of the Greens stating they will not support Labor's proposed motion.

To put it mildly this is incorrect.

I'll put it less mildly if it persists beyond the next few days.

#politas

Labor is already calling this a Liberal-Green government. Sigh. Their maturity is on full display. Like a kid in a sandpit throwing out the toys 🙄 #politas

Well, how can they? If Labor insists on leaving them out of negotiations how can they work with together? What a debacle.
