tasmaniantimes.com/2025/05/fina... A sensible, alternative plan that won't send the state into a financial free-fall. Ultimately, Launceston's York Park should be the home of AFL in Tasmania. It makes the most sense from all perspectives. #politas

A lot has been written for and against a proposed stadium at Macquarie Point for the nascent Tasmania Devils AFL team. The Tasmanian Planning Commission’s Draft Integrated Assessment neatly summarises...

Architect: building an AFL stadium at Macquarie Point is an incredibly bad idea (provides extensive list of easy to understand reasons every one of which should be a dealbreaker)

Eric Abetz: I think it’s a great idea so let’s do it

“All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.”

Y'all got angels and demons
perched on yer shoulders?
I got nothing but doubt
and hope over here,
endless,
ephemeral,
forever talkin' shit
into the holler between
two busted ears.
This body sags
and leaks
and rots.
The mascots tho,
workmanlike,
bless 'em,
still got their dance to do.

No it's not. 2 billion plus ongoing costs for a few games of kick the ball each year so #politas can occupy corporate boxes #yorkparkno1site

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.

Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

Film days mid 90's long day around the tracks - evening & 30 min from Dove Lake car park a lone piper sent the #saltires surging. Another day to remember #Tasmania
