After a bushfire exposed an open-air waste dump containing asbestos at a Tasmanian iron ore plant, it was quietly buried without informing residents. The Environment Protection Authority warned the company about health risks, but not the public. #politas

If only Tasmania had more politicians with the calibre of Ruth Forrest. She was right to not bother seeking commitments from the government. Something neither Thomas nor Harriss understood. The government has lied to them both. Abetz already trying to weasel out of the financial cap commitment.

Burqa with the works.
Not to borrow from our accursed American cousins, but I’m going to miss Barnaby Joyce when he’s gone, so I’d like to give thanks, while he’s still with us, for all the years of entertainment he’s prov...

Economist Saul Eslake's extensive synopsis on the state of the state just now on the ABC's Afternoon Briefing was brilliant. A must watch particularly how he broke down the financial 'pickle' we're in & why Tasmanians are resenting the unwavering impost by the AFL of a $1billion+ stadium. #politas
