HUGE NEWS! This morning, the owners of Newcastle Waters instructed management to immediately cease plans for the culling of 20,000 native corellas & galahs. When thousands of Australians speak up for our iconic nature, the world listens. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
The govt has said 2400 public servants will lose their jobs.
Every GBE is losing money or in massive debt. Health, housing and education are all in big trouble and our credit rating has dropped, yet the deluded crew think a loss-making stadium is the saviour. Wow. #politas
Yes a vested interest that results in people being employed, active, feeding their families, paying taxes!
I’ve always struggled with my Tasmanian business clients being so self-interested and improving our state, as opposed to being ‘negative-miserable’ like some 🤦♂️
#politas
8000-10000 people gathered to stay stop wasting our money on a dumb-arse stadium that will ruin the soul of our city and trash the states finances #politas

Diseased fish kept on life support by vaccines and antibiotics. Now that’s some healthy eating #politas

Migrants contribute so much to our society and the MRCT do a stellar job helping them establish their lives on our island. I want to raise some money to help them - please throw me some cash to get me 🚶♂️ the-big-tassie-walk.raiselys… 🙏

Good. Now the challenge is to keep the review truly independent and that the recommendations are acted upon swiftly unlike the 2021 Finfish Review that has been roundly ignored. So much damage could have been averted if that was acted upon at the time #politas
A disgraceful industry. History will not read well for the sycophants in the Liberal and Labor Parties that have thrown our precious waterways and the life they contain under the proverbial bus. Be it on their heads. #politas
BREAKING: After more than 2 years of appalling delay, and only days before our foundation's court case on this matter was due to be heard, Minister Watt has given the green light for fish farms to continue polluting Tasmania’s Macquarie Harbour #politas

Ancient trees are the lungs of our planet and provide vital homes to countless species. Logging native forests tears apart these fragile ecosystems. It must end. Now. #politas

As an organisation we added our name to this open letter.
The last eleven years of the Liberal government has delivered terrible outcomes for our marine environment and the reserve estate. Their arrogance and blind ignorance to our concerns must end #politas

Nature is healing 🥲
The TEC’s political donations register shows pokies lobby group the THA donated to Labor Leader Dean Winter.
And pokies industry heavyweight Federal Group donated to the Liberals.
Coincidentally, neither major party is interested in pokies reform #politas
As head of the TICT this bloke refused to release annual reports despite receiving public money. I guess shonky recognises shonky.
Ok - now today must be the day the Liberals release the business case for their insurance thought bubble.. err, I mean, insurance “business”.
Can’t just be a snazzy logo for us all to look at, surely?
Don’t leave us hanging…

Fascinating Merc op-ed by the TCCI slamming Greens’ plans for royalties on mining & salmon companies.
Apparently these measures are “populist tax grabs”. The piece fails to mention these aren’t just Greens thought bubbles - they’re called for by Saul Eslake and others. #politas

Former Labor Premier Paul Lennon is calling for the Libs to release costings for TasInsure - and rightly so.
Assume by the same standard Mr Lennon would also be concerned that 26 days into an election centring on the budget, Labor still have no costings published. #politas
There’s no question the @TasLiberal govt have no regard for nature. This article articulates perfectly how disconnected their decision making is from the Tasmanian landscape and the forces that have formed it. #politas #votenature

Tas Lab: the extraction and exploit party at any cost. Now want forests, fish farms, mining projects & energy exempted from scrutiny of Fed Enviro law. The cult of madness needs to stop & we need a vision for the state that isn't about extraction & exploitation #politas
