A bit perplexed at the headlines about today’s #marchforhumanity saying “perilous” and “police feared the worst”. Surely the story is that, in spite of police fears, the march was peaceful, demonstrators full of goodwill and happily cooperated with police instructions to manage the huge turnout.

Solidarity with everyone protesting in Sydney and Melbourne today. Thank you for standing up to prove to our government that this is not a fringe issue. Australians do not accept being forced to be complicit with this genocide. #freePalestine #saveGaza #marchforhumanity #auspol #politas

Dementia specialist, tap dancer, saxophonist, author, city councillor, veteran doctor, professor — George Razay has quite the resume. Now, he has added Tasmanian Member of Parliament to the list. Who is he, and what does he stand for?

Seattle voters recently approved a 5% payroll tax on high incomes to fund social housing, aiming to build permanently affordable homes for a range of incomes. The initiative could generate $52 million annually for the new Seattle Social Housing program. theconversation.com/from-seattle...

I'm genuinely surprised @aunz.theconversation.com would publish such a misleading article. This is not 'journalism you can trust' it's propaganda. theconversation.com/australia-co... #auspol #climate

Brilliant

What are these 'shared values' with our 'friends' Israel and the US? Is it white supremacy? Genocide? Corruption? Systematically murdering brown people? Or is it the 'democracy' thing, that we have two useless political options, both of which want to make things worse? Explain it to me like I'm 6.

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

Trump has wanted a police state with himself sitting at the top as its undisputed boss since his first administration. The standoff in L.A. shows how truly eager he is to turn America’s vast warmaking powers inward on his domestic foes and critics. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Probs shouldn't be surprised that an error/s have been found in the supply bill/s and House of Assembly will be recalled to pass corrected version. (as reported by the Mercury) #politas

“Salmon farming companies should pay a royalty to the Tasmanian government for the use of waters which are ‘owned’ by the state government on behalf of the people of Tasmania,” - Saul Eslake Our research shows the tax paid by the three largest salmon farms has been near-zero. More here:

COCO GAUFF WINS THE FRENCH OPEN 🏆 The American takes down Aryna Sabalenka 6-7, 6-2, 6-4 to claim her second women's Grand Slam singles title.

Gutted for Aryna but I have no doubt she’ll raise the trophy here She usually needs a couple run ups before she gets the big thing Absolutely thrilled for Coco to get her second slam, and her first French Open title Beautiful for women’s tennis to have these icons at the top of our sport

What a ride #rolandgarros

That was definitely a set of tennis between the world #1 and the world #2…

Loving the tennis battle and watching with folks all around the world. Waves from Tasmania (Australia)

Extraordinary tennis

Clever Coco

If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?

I'd love to see Tasmania in the AFL. But there's a lot of footy people blithely dismissing the considerable objections to the insistence on a new stadium as part of the deal without bothering to understand them. They should definitely read this piece.

Stansfield's policy has always been "Never do anything that might cost a single vote". Which is perhaps the biggest single reason that Tasmania's finances are in the mess that they now are.

As the costs of climate impacts continue to climb, the efforts we make to assess our risks are critical. It’s good to be involved in conveying this need.

Something I want to knock on the head is the idea that Dean Winter has an obligation to be Premier if the Governor wants to commission him. This seems to stem from the Governor's reasonings re David Bartlett in 2010 #politas

I'm assuming everyone who matters has agreed to this #politas

After a significant amount of justification around convention, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Michelle O'Byrne has cast her deciding vote, siding with the ayes and passing the motion of no confidence against Premier Rockliff. Rockliff has fallen, we'll see what happens next. #auspol #politas

For every election I get to declare one frivolous (?) election issue on my site so for this one it will be the need to fix the #politas webcast. Party commitments or lack thereof will be noted.

Truly what a farce the parliamentary webcast - it works for about 30 seconds then glitches out. Aaarrrgggh #politas

I wish people with expertise and opinions on what this current mess of a government means for housing, healthcare, education, public transport, AYDC, public sector jobs were getting as much time as the people who care about what it means for the stadium. #politas

“The optics nationally and internationally are really negative for Tasmania, what this looks like is uncertainly, a risk to invest and a state that isn’t unified.” Me thinks that’s a tad hyperbolic for a sport that’s only played in Australia. Some value health & education & housing more🤷🏻‍♀️

Amazes me how many argue that we should look to other stadiums to see how something can deliver over time (if one forgets about population & geography), but in the same moment will argue a stadium is the only way to get an AFL team. It always seems impossible until it isn’t. #politas

I despair at the fiasco the footy team and stadium has become for Tasmania. Devo that it has all been so poorly managed and divided the community, again. #politas

Staying out of politics #politas

Just want to underline ths: a Premier defeated on a no confidence motion this early in the term can ask for an election but as they lack the confidence of the House that request must by convention be refused unless no viable alternative exists. #politas
