Suits the Liberal government to keep the population poorly educated. Polls show that those with lower educational attainment are more likely to vote Liberal. #politas

"For Tasmania, that is just unaffordable."
FFS @jeremyrockliff go seek therapy for your cognitive dissonance. HTF is a stadium affordable if we can't afford to pay teachers, nurses, police, allied health and more what they should be paid. #politas

Premier Rockliff has got a hide saying "the unions demands are unaffordable." If he believes a $2B stadium is affordable then he hasn't got a leg to stand on when it comes to other government expenditure. Tasmanian politicians just got a 22% pay increase. #politas

Worth considering this transformation in the context of what we've seen domestically in SA, and the rapid transformation of WA's energy grid. It is absolutely possible to replicate Uruguay's success in Australia.
They don’t want this information getting out
Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels.

This will all be for nothing if remediation of the skate's habitat isn't undertaken. The federal Labor government, in changing the law, has allowed salmon farming to expand in Macquarie Harbour. Despite these breeding efforts it's likely the Maugean Skate is headed for extinction. #politas #auspol
From a specimen unexpectedly launching itself out of a tank, to another dying from a gastrointestinal blockage, and bite marks made during mating rituals, the ABC can reveal the challenges scientist face keeping the endangered Maugean skate species alive.
