Four-year parlts would provide stability and should be part of the negotiations to form the next government, as @MegWebbTweets suggests. megwebb.com.au/media-release-… #politas

⁦⁦@Bartlett_DJ⁩ — who had been there, done that – has good advice. The first step: establish trust. #politas abc.net.au/news/2025-07-2…

Good analysis of election result. tallyroom.com.au/60934 #politas

Thanks, Deb. Yes new 🎙️ #fontcast is live now! Boldy saying what nobody else will about the #politas election campaign and where it might all end up. Link in first comment 👇

“Tasmania’s two major political parties have not explained how they would address concerns about a lack of transparency about political meetings with lobbyists just days before a state election.” #politas tasmanianinquirer.com.au/news/labor-coy…

Candidates seeking election on Saturday don't care about integrity or responding to community concerns. Only 12 responded to a Tasmanian Constitution Society survey. #politas tcsinfo.com.au/2025/07/13/int…

Six of the 31 Franklin candidates came to a campaign forum tonight. Those six were Greens or Peter George team members. No Liberal or Labor candidates. Says a lot about the respect they have for the people they want to vote for them. #politas

The importance of the next parlt reforming Integrity Commission confirmed by Chief Commissioner Greg Melick. He blamed the 3 major parties for the commission not implementing the lobbyists' code of conduct. We have the right to know when and why MPs are lobbied. #politas

The Greens’ call for voters to know who the names of the two Liberal MPs the Integrity Commission have been investigating are not what Premier Rockliff calls Labor and Green “political games”. Voters have a right to know who they are. #politas

State of secrecy: more confirmation with Integrity Commission pulling the plug on code of conduct for lobbyists. #politas

Tasmanians want to see a contest of ideas. They want to ensure there is collaboration and that we’re actually tackling the big issues #politas abc.net.au/listen/program… via @ABCaustralia

Premier Rockliff could have avoided the early election by working with the whole crossbench. The solution isn't 25 seats or to get rid of Hare Clark; it is for politicians to work together for the benefit of the state and not themselves. #politas #electiontas2

Livestream even less stable than the government #politas

There was an important democratic event today. It was a low-key formality but a reminder of what we have. tcsinfo.com.au/2025/05/30/an-… #politas

Thanks to persistent work by @MegWebbTweets, the govt has made ministerial diaries public. But @bobburtonoz reveals, more detail more often would show the govt supports in practice the transparency to which it often says it's committed. #politas bit.ly/4k4BkDc

Another example of Parlt working: government  agrees to implement long overdue Cox review recommendations to give the Integrity Commission what it needs to do its job. #politas

If you don't like the rules or process you set up, you ignore it and do something else. That seems to be how the government's modus operandi in Tasmania. #politas

Good turnout last night at PMAT's public meeting at Taroona to oppose govt plans to remove planning appeal rights – among other things. Write to MPs, especially Leg Councillors, and let them know you want to preserve democracy in planning. #politas planningmatterstas.org.au/take-action-da…

At last … Tasmanians will know who are funding political parties’ election campaigns after the Legislative Council passed the Greens’ bill. #politas
