In Tasmania the Libs call it Ticket to Play. Probably copied QLd

No they come to you because they don't have the numbers, what happens if either side can get them with you? Could Nationals be an easier support for Labor than say Garland and Peter George? #politas

So, they are anti stadium and pro salmon. Nationally they are pro coal. Mmm not sure of their voter base in Tasmania? Are they Liberals in disguise???

There seems to be a lot of re use and recycling happening. Not much new blood yet.

Forcing an election and then refusing to negotiate for Government if the community does not return a majority, is arrogance in extreme. Stabbing Rebecca White because she accepted reality of minority government tells us all we need to know about Tas Labor. They run for Opposition. #politas

What a joke! And she’s a candidate before there’s an election. Shows she is already captured by the Tas Libs and isn’t allowed to think or speak for herself

Excellent piece Ruth. We need lollies like you calling out the Government over this mess and pointing out the huge problems to the community.

Going back to another election expecting a different result is just a waste of money Tasmania does not have

We must seek advice from experts and actually act on their advice not ignore them or tell them they are wrong. Ministers must take frank and fearless advice from Departments and not say “ we must do this” against advice

We need to commit to stop the craziness of building a stadium to add to the debt. Both parties must stop promising money to buy votes ( look up how much was promised to Montgomery by Libs) we must tax salmon farms, stop giving funds to rich people to make them richer ( as a start)

Parliaments should not seek to prevent future parliaments from privatising things. Each parliament should decide for itself whether privatising is a good or bad idea. Parliaments that privatise irresponsibly will be punished by the voters.

And even if you could do that the idea that a present-day legislative majority of, say, one, should be able to bind any future majority up to two-thirds is counter-democratic however well intentioned, especially in Tasmania where a 2/3 majority is so difficult to get.
