Good news at last. Though, the govt washed its hands off the issue by letting the regulatory body deal with it. Another example of #AlboPM’s timidity where controversy arises or electoral success is threatened. Less ‘politics’ and more progressive policy decision Albo!

Antibiotic licence for salmon farming revoked over 'unacceptable risk'

The use of florfenicol in Tasmania's salmon industry has been banned as the country's veterinary medicine regulator suspends an emergency licence for the antibiotic.

To be clear, this debt alone means that every one of the State’s inhabitants owes a $12,000 share of of an UNFUNDED liability that the Tasmanian Government has let accumulate, for the benefit of only senior public servants and politicians.
Nothing to see here that is of concern except the minor issue of people with power looking after their own. 😠

Abetz to consider slashing high-earner public servant retirement payments

The Tasmanian government is considering reducing the superannuation given to high-earning public servants as a way of reining in its $7 billion unfunded superannuation liability, the ABC understands.

When will this nonsense about an extraordinarily expensive (and unnecessary) #Stadium being better for #Tasmania than addressing our chronic health and education failings?

Issue of how to power Hobart stadium not yet solved, as deadlines approach

Major upgrades to Hobart's power grid to supply the Macquarie Point stadium are yet to be finalised or costed, with the final estimate for the precinct's energy demand increasing by almost 50 per cent in a year.

🙄 I read the article as being about Tassie! 🤷🏼‍♂️

Some South Australian school classrooms are 'literally falling apart'

Almost two years after a state government report revealed 35 per cent of all buildings within the Department for Education's portfolio were past their design life, many schools are still plagued with issues including mould, asbestos and rotting windows.  

‘“The project will be completed within the previously announced budget amount of $493 million,” he said.
‘The project was initially forecast to cost just $90 million.’

Pulse Tasmania

A lot of people here have Quite Strong Opinions about the U16 social media laws, so I’m sure they’ll all be excited to hear that Hobart’s Tasman Bridge is lit up yellow and green tonight, in recognition.

@crk5 Looks like this international band didn't need to go down to Hobart, where the (current) stadium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellerive_Oval#:~:text=Tasmania-,Capacity,19%2C500 is larger than the one in Launceston https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York_Park#:~:text=Capacity,15%2C500
