Hey Tassie folk, Can anyone update me on what might be the likely outcome of the Tas election? @kevinbonham #politas
Question: Can anyone tell me how many of the re-elected members supported the ‘no-confidence’ motion in @jeremyrockliff If Mr Rockliff is to form govt, does this mean those who voted for the no-confidence motion, have changed their mind? I’m confused! #politas @kevinbonham
Maybe next Tas Gvt could sneak a hundred bucks off proposed #Stadium budget to pay someone to fix the TGIO clock in #Hobart CBD? Or is it @cityofhobarttas responsibility? It’s been stopped for years. Either way, I’ve got a mate who can do it for $50 cash? #politas #TickTock
Random question: Why is a corflute called a ‘corflute’ rather than a ‘sign’? I think it’s a pretty weird word. Is it used in any other context than elections? #politas @kevinbonham @shannon_wells
Eric Abetz - already interrupting women on the panel & dominating the discussion. 🙄 Shut Up Eric. #tasvotes #politas
I really don’t think I can endure Eric Abetz all night. 🤢 *As I frantically search the cupboards for anything that resembles alcohol* Hope @CassyOConnorMLC & other panelists have a hip flask under the desk. #politas
Thoughts & prayers for fellow Tasmanians having to vote tomorrow in the election no-one wanted & that will result in same scenario as before- albeit with maybe a few new faces. Probably won’t even get a bloody sausage cos severe weather warning for “damaging winds”. #politas
Could the Special Envoy to Combat #Antisemitism Ms #JillianSegal pls provide a link to the “research & consultations” she says informed her “Plan”. There are no footnotes/references in the “Plan”. Readers should be able to access info re the “consultation & research”. #auspol
Re @jeremyrockliff ‘Womens Health Plan’ released today: What are you going to do about the 2yr wait for an #Autism diagnosis? Will you be funding GPs for requisite #ADHD training? Will you be funding ‘foundational supports’ for people with disability? #politas #NDIS #CRPD
Hard to believe it’s been 40 yrs since the LiveAid concert. I remember being glued to the tv to watch it all. #FreddieMercury & #Queen stole the show. Freddie’s performance was even more amazing given he was quite sick & his Dr had advised him not to perform. #LiveAid40
I have read the Plan to Combat #Antisemitism by #JillianSegal I find it odd that the Plan makes broad statements about ‘research’ & ‘consultations’ that have been conducted, yet contains no references to these. This wouldn’t be acceptable in a high school assignment. #auspol
I wonder if Jillian Segal and @AlboMP are aware that we already have a National Anti-Racism Framework, which was only launched in November 2024. 🤷♀️ humanrights.gov.au/anti-racism-fr…
Does anyone know if the maintenance contract is factored into the projected cost of the #Stadium I imagine the maintenance contract would be put out to tender, but I’m assuming it’s been costed? #politas @SaulEslake @TasLiberal #MacPoint @abchobart @MegWebbTweets
For those in #Tassie who didn’t see the full page ad in Saturdays Mercury by the ‘united independent businesspeople’ re the #Stadium here’s a copy. Wouldn’t it be amazing if these same people took out a full page ad re #homelessness; #csa DV; #poverty; #AYDC etc. 🙄 #politas

Full page ad in The Mercury yesterday from a group of ‘united independent business people’ calling for Mac Pt Stadium to be built. Take a close look at the list. More like a group of very wealthy individuals (from wealthy families). Plenty of vested interests there. #politas
Just letting everyone know that Pruuuuue McSween is clearly on the turps this weekend. In case you hadn’t noticed. Why is she such a nasty person? I mean sure, disagree with the Fed Govt etc, but no need for such mean-spirited personal attacks. 🍷🍷🍷🍷 #auspol
I wonder how much the “new virtual tour of Hobart’s proposed Macquarie Point stadium” cost to produce? And released during an election campaign? Can we get a similar “virtual tour” of the proposed facility to replace Ashley Youth Detention Centre? #politas #OPCAT @abchobart
Help me out here fellow Tassie folk. The @TasLiberal catchphrase for this election is “Let’s finish the job for Tasmania.” Exactly *what* job is being “finished”? What’s the starting point for this “job”? How will we know when the “job” is finished? #politas
Can anyone tell me what @senatorbabet *actually* does to earn his wage as a Senator? And why he isn’t held to account by the #Senate for his many offensive public tweets & comments that are clearly racist, homophobic, ableist, etc? @TheKennyDevine @strangerous10 #auspol
There is no such thing as a ‘little bit of #HumanRights You cannot ‘cherry pick’ the ones you like and ignore the rest. #auspol #InternationalHumanitarianLaw #GenevaConventions un.org/en/about-us/un…
