What would a government with an integrity problem do… cut funding to the Integrity Commission of course. Typical behaviour in Tasmania. @cassyoconnor.bsky.social @kristiejohnstonmp.bsky.social @andrewwilkiemp.bsky.social @ruthforrestmlc.bsky.social

Tasmania spending so much on a billion-dollar stadium while its deficit grows shows the link between poor policy process and fiscal indiscipline, writes Bernard Keane.

Looks more than a bit worrying to me!

Why does the Advocate and its readership ( including one well known Minister) blame the Greens for everything and spin emotional headlines? @cassyoconnor.bsky.social @slowguns.bsky.social @tabathabadgermp.bsky.social @nickmckim.bsky.social @christinemilne.bsky.social

Tasmanians are united in supporting an AFL team. It’s dishonest to suggest opposition to stadium is same as opposition to team. North Broken Hill recruited Foster to promote their polluting pulp mill and then there’s pokies . History repeating itself. www.thesenior.com.au/story/515682... #politas

Average age of Members in The Liberal Party in VIC is 68, membership is less than 9k. One of their biggest weekly expenses are funeral wreaths an insider said. NSW is no better, but the wreaths are cheaper. #auspol #BinNight

Blatant propaganda. Pitching to those who in many cases can’t afford a ticket to an AFL game. Promoting the AFL brand of drinking and betting. Just what Tasmania needs!!!😡 @andrewwilkiemp.bsky.social @cassyoconnor.bsky.social @kristiejohnstonmp.bsky.social

After he got caught using hundreds of fake AI studies to back up his bullshit report, RFK says he’s gonna ban NIH scientists from publishing their work in scientific journals. wapo.st/4kCDCcB

PULL THE PLUG on Marinus. Kill the battery of the nation project. Tasmanians cannot endure power prices rising 30¢ on the dollar. Likely to be a state election in March 2026. Remember this. #politas

I’m concerned that these visits are using children for political purposes. I hope the Devils had permission from every child’s parents to use their photo for this purpose? Did the Devils staff have WWVP cards? @ruthforrestmlc.bsky.social @kristiejohnstonmp.bsky.social @cassyoconnor.bsky.social

Tasmanian Government follows a yellow brick road. They really think a stadium is the answer!🤔

Well, it is a stand out industry but for all the wrong reasons. The Tasmanian Govt cosies up with multinationals who pay no tax and ruin our waterways.

Stadium enabling legislation could face High Court challenge, says Greg Barns "I will be surprised ... if this clause does not get challenged, because the High Court and other courts around Australia don't like these clauses, and for a very good reason." www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Spin it however you like, this is a very expensive (~$1 billion, for now!) dog of a project www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

So, the Mercury newspaper tells us that the Devils have 200000 members and only half live in Tasmania. Of that half, how many are children (unborn or alive), cats and dogs and assorted others?

A vast amount of evidence shows that their nuclear policy cost the Coalition critical votes across Australia, and may have ultimately cost the Coalition around 11 seats So pleased the Coalition is sticking with it then They'll be in opposition forever #pfffft reneweconomy.com.au/nuclear-powe...

Eric stil spruiking the goodness of salmon steaks!!! @indy4franklin.bsky.social @kristiejohnstonmp.bsky.social

Why did the Tasmanian Government do this? Is it connected to one of their big donors? @kristiejohnstonmp.bsky.social thanks for sharing this

Is this man for real? Since when has setting off more fire crackers demonstrated the “Tasmanian way of life”? A distraction from all that is wrong in Tasmania. Most comments show that people see this for what it is. @kristiejohnstonmp.bsky.social @andrewwilkiemp.bsky.social

More problems for the Tas Liberals. Kevin Bonham says Nelson results clearly show the people want the Government held to account. @megwebb-mlc.bsky.social will do so.

Recent polling and Saturday's Legislative Council elections highlight problems for the Tasmanian Liberals, as Treasurer Guy Barnett prepares to hand down his first state budget this week.

Well done @megwebb-mlc.bsky.social a fantastic result for democracy in Tasmania. So very well deserved, so convincing. This is a clear message to the government.

BREAKING: Australia is building vehicles again… just don’t tell the LNP! Volvo will start making electric trucks in Brisbane after Linfox ordered 30 of them. Yes, 30. That’s all it took to reboot our manufacturing sector. No diesel, no pollution, Australian Jobs, no coal lobbyists$$

Are we surprised? Are we angry?

Vote 1 @megwebb-mlc.bsky.social we need her voice and action in Nelson.

When Labor last won the seats it has gained 2019 Griffith 2016 Bass, Braddon 2010 Banks, Petrie, Deakin 2007 Bonner, Leichhardt, Brisbane, Forde, Melbourne 1998 Dickson 1993 Hughes 1987 Moore 1969 Sturt Never: Menzies (created 1984)

Hobart Mayor shocked about stadium height! @slowguns.bsky.social @andrewwilkiemp.bsky.social @kristiejohnstonmp.bsky.social @cassyoconnor.bsky.social @ruthforrestmlc.bsky.social

Vote 1 Meg Webb on Saturday May 24th. Our Legislative Council and our state needs her.

Meg Webb's questions on notice re UTAS On 10 April, Meg Webb asked Education Minister Palmer, Infrastructure Minister Vincent and Treasurer Barnett a series of key questions about UTAS. See: megwebb.com.au/questions/ The answers, if & when they come, will make for fascinating reading. #politas

On Friday morning, West Coast port officials told CNN about a startling sight: Not a single cargo vessel had left China with goods for the two major West Coast ports in the past 12 hours. That hasn’t happened since the pandemic. cnn.it/3YA0Rf6

Just confirming everyone has the delicious information that Labor has elected more women MPs than Liberals have elected all MPs. Yes, you read that right ❤️

Might just be me, but the fact a huge section of our southern food region is at record low rainfall should be receiving a little more coverage. It's the end of Autumn and dams throughout our area are still dry.
