Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Note to major #politas parties, I’m not interested in smear, attack or scare campaigns. I want to know your REAL plan and policy positions - a long term, actionable vision - for Tasmania’s and Tasmanians’ future - including fixing the budget. And zero pork barrelling. I’m sure I am not alone.

My heart aches about hearing the news of the retirement of Michelle O'Byrne. By far the best representative of Bass is now gone and it's a huge loss for the community. Her grace and integrity will always be admired by many looking back on this period of Tasmanian Labor's history. #politas

Bridget Archer is "... appalled with the shenanigans that have been played out by [the opposition leader] Dean Winter in the state parliament.” Scott Morrison's "shenanigans" were totally fine apparently. #politas #auspol

I remember as a lawyer trying to get these women evacuated. Scott Morrison overrode medical advice in the case of an asylum seeker in offshore detention trying to access an abortion & sought advice that would effectively prevent access to terminations entirely. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Who better to sum up the stadium saga than Richard Flanagan. "Through all this, the AFL supported Rockliff as a noose supports a condemned man." #politas @thesaturdaypaper.com.au

So exciting to see that Charlotte Walker has gotten up on Labor's third spot on the senate ticket in SA! At 21 years old, she will be our youngest ever Senator AND the first to be born in the new millennium! Our parliament definitely needs more youth representation. #AusPol #AusVotes
