Looks like Tasmania is not as progressive as they would like us to believe. Very disappointing that 2 Labor MLC's oppose the bill.

Tasmanian government delays greyhound racing ban vote to avoid upper house defeat

It is understood the debate will now be pushed to mid-May…

Pulse Tasmania

Tasmania police decided that it didn’t have to report child abuse when it was committed by one of its own employees.

"There is palpable fear on all sides. Concern for personal security is high. Tasmania's top silks have been briefed."

Mine may be shut down amid money laundering allegations, bikie claims

The Tasmanian government has taken steps to revoke the operating licence of one of the state's biggest mining operations, after being warned it was allegedly used as a "vehicle for money laundering" and former owners were associated with underworld figures.

Well done Victoria & Tasmania. Big yay also to Queensland which after trialing 50c fares in 2024 decided to make them permanent.

This is what governance looks like.

Contrast Albanese following the #Scott🤡 strategy of ‘we’ll use taxpayer money to underwrite any losses experienced by corporate profiteers’.

Shame on you.

Who do our elected representatives exist to serve? #FollowTheMoney

Text message from a candidate in the upcoming Upper House election in #Tasmania, and my reply.

First the government opened the borders; let it rip, told us to live with it, and now they're taking free RATs away from those who can least afford it. The affordable RAT option from pharmacies that they mention - $7.99 for a single.

It's lot to pay when you are already stretching your budget to afford fuel to get to your job and food for basic survival.

Not to mention going into a pharmacy where there's a nice old dear topping up her angina medication where she'll probably get infected. Though I guess most people do that anyway 🫩

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.
