This sounds familiar. … sounds just like the story about the Spirit berths in Devonport. This stadium has no social licence. It hasn’t even been approved by the Govt. No new stadium. @kristiejohnstonmp.bsky.social @slowguns.bsky.social @jacquilambie.bsky.social

The Tasmanian govt is now arguing with its own Planning Commission about what the Parliament required to be assessed for the proposed stadium. This is amateur hour by the govt. Can someone please save Tasmania from itself? @peterfitz1.bsky.social @mikecarlton01.bsky.social @wendyharmer.bsky.social

Peter, polling shows a consistent 60% statewide against the stadium. The latest poll was 25 February this year. The opposition will grow as the economy crumbles under the weight of debt and cutbacks to fund this vanity project.

It’s time to pull the plug on the stadium. It’s a planning, heritage, financial, economic and transport disaster #nonewstadium @peterfitz1.bsky.social @mikecarlton01.bsky.social

Meanwhile, in Hobart, the Tas gov’t wants to sell assets to pay for its stadium. The govt’s respected and independent consultant, Saul Eslake, has just announced the plan is a financial disaster. The ALP opposes the sales, so they won’t get through parlt. This is a slow motion train crash.

May I just suggest to Jeremy Rockliff’s media team that the whole sending the ferry to Scotland then bringing it back again is simply what happens when you somehow manage to utterly fail to have somewhere to park your new ferries despite being well aware that you would be needing them years ahead.

Well done @andrewwilkiemp.bsky.social for speaking up about this issue. The Government hides too much from the people of Tasmania. I’m voting 1 for @indy4franklin.bsky.social because of this issue.

The perfect solution to the government’s instability and lack of confidence within the house – and its budget problems – is to abandon the crazy Mac Point stadium. #nonewstadium

Let’s remember it was only a week or so ago that Peter Dutton endorsed Donald Trump as “a big thinker” 😳 Today, Trump’s nasty lies about Ukraine proves he is nothing of the sort. He’s a Putin patsy and a danger to democracy.

1. The UK government’s pursuit of GDP growth at all costs is an assault on our natural wealth, which will impoverish us all. It might be able to massage the headline figures by converting the living world into money, but it does not improve our lives.🧵

Trump’s cabinet picks, like Pete Hegseth, Linda McMahon, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who have been accused of sexual misconduct or abuse, reflect more than poor judgment. They highlight a broader culture of weaponized masculinity which has clear ties to America’s gun violence epidemic. Thread 🧵 ⤵️

www.abc.net.au/listen/progr... How can it be worth the money when one of Australia’s leading economists says the return is 0.44 c in the dollar? This is a disastrous major project. It’s been mismanaged and we’ve been lied to. Why overlook all that, David O’Byrne? #nonewstadium

TAS government commissions a report on its proposed Hobart stadium by a leading independent economist. Report released yesterday. In what is high cowardice, no government rep has agreed to speak publicly. Given, the report predicted a planning and economic disaster, this is maladministration.

You should see how the TAS Liberal govt is costing their $1.5b stadium. It’s smoke, mirrors and lies. Their costing - to the extent it’s been revealed - fails scrutiny. It’s a planning disaster: a massive stadium cast between a special heritage area and Australia’s oldest Cenotaph. #nonewstadium
