@tassiedevil.bsky.social the AFL, a veryi profitable business with no competition, should be funding at least 75% (if not the lot) of the Hobart stadium. Instead they offer a miserable few million 💰💰
So well said. Too many Tasmanians don't seem to grasp that the AFL is blackmailing the state. Both the Liberals and Labor are letting the AFL bully them. #politas
Out of frustration of how the conversation is so single focused in Tasmania I wrote this piece published in today’s media.
The stadium has dominated the past two elections don’t let it dominate the next four years. #politas

I really dislike this smug, disingenuous, baseless type of critique of Greta Thunberg. For all the millions of narcissists, egotists, charismatic villains and disrupters, she’s a bleeding heart with the courage to take action beyond words. www.smh.com.au/world/middle...

@tassiedevil.bsky.social the AFL have not put enough cash to this project. Expecting Tasmania to pay for the majority, when the Melbourne based monolith the AFL will benefit most. The AFL need to put more cash into Tasmania 💰💰
I was listening to Saul Eslake and the points he raises about the stadium are valid. Why is the AFL expecting so much from Tasmania? Much more than was asked of other states that gained teams. Goes back to what I've always said. The AFL doesn't really want a Tasmanian team. #politas

If Senator Murray Watt approves the North West Shelf extension, his legacy will forever be as the man who destroyed the oldest rock art on the planet.
It will be an act of vandalism so gross that nothing he can do in politics thereafter could counter the damage.

Labor's "middle way" timidity on the Palestinian genocide might have worked at the ballot box, but it can't hold in the face of blatant ethnic cleansing, mass starvation and Australia's allies denouncing Israel
Labor's middle-way timidity on Gaza genocide sums up Australia's indifference
Labor has tried to walk a fine line on Israel's actions in Gaza. The ramping up of genocide and ethnic cleansing has made that strategy unviable.

You know that if the New York Times is reporting this, then the situation is extremely dire. Palestinians have been saying for months that famine is happening due to Israel’s siege. That is a war crime, Israel is the agent, the US is the sponsor, and American taxpayers are rendered complicit.
