Councillor Ryan Posselt

Council should borrow $32M & buy K&D. Engage the private sector to build on it through an EOI process we control. Ensuring whatever goes there is what the city needs, not just what makes money. We must build more housing stock & in the city is where to do it #politas

It’s just not worth it. This is not an equitable distribution of resources #politas

Published in today’s Mercury. 100 doctors signed an open letter against the Government’s Stadium proposal. #politas

Today I’m calling for both Liberal and Labor to commit to funding the Collins street foot bridge to their stadium prior to the election I’m not tolerating a cost shift ratepayers for a $60M+ piece of infrastructure that is required to exclusively service their stadium #politas

Fun debate in hobart council about the timing of the Myer Christmas Pageant. 🎄 🎅 Recommendation to be held 15 November. Seems a risk hot cross buns might be still on the shelves. 🐰 What do you think #politas ? 15/11 or 29/11

When Tasmania wants results like these, then we'll talk: #politas

We’ve got one of the lowest forecast rates rises in the state at 3.5%, which is 0.5% below our long term plan but some are angling for a 0% rise. This is completely irresponsible governance that results in massive pressure on future councils & diminishes services #politas

FFS the Libs are promising a CT Scanner in St Helens. Population 2200 Maybe 5000 at peak holiday time. How can they justify it? How will they staff it? Who will run it? Even the most generous business case couldn't justify this. Unbelievable. #politas

I am deeply concerned that a member of the capital city council & my colleague is advocating for the death penalty I am speechless to see this propagated on social media today There is no place for the death penalty anywhere in the world. It is the tool of dictators #politas

Shocked at level of community understanding for #Stadiumstuff Commenter genuinely thought they would be able to just drive up Evans Street & park at the stadium on game day. Doesn’t believe that is not the case. How can we debate this with so little understanding? #politas

#politas pop quiz: Who knew this wind protecting glazing element had been removed from the stadium design?

Get onto this ripper community petition. Let’s build a better future for everyone chng.it/JFjj2pfNnM

Hey #politas remember when Eric Abetz pulled funding for this? 5 empty cars or 25 people making the most of the city. Eric chose cars ‘cause conservatives can’t cope with change. Remember that come election time. (Pic taken today apparent temp is 9)

Under current legislation a Tasmanian Councillor can be suspended from duty and no one informed. Not the council on which they serve Not the general public Not the Minister Tasmanian Legislative and bureaucratic ineptitude If a tree falls in the forest… #politas #lgtas

A timely reminder that if we really must have a stadium, the government’s proposal isn’t the only one on the table. This offers so much more for community, and has a capped public spend of $750M. Even if it’s purely fiscal grounds, this option MUST be reconsidered #politas

If Jeremy Rockliff resigns entirely from parliament, who gets his seat? @kevinbonham #politas

No confidence motion carried, with casting vote from the Speaker, Michelle O’Byrne No confidence in the premier 18-17 Raised issues of supply and confidence along with timelines to election. So what’s next? #politas

17-17 #politas
