We live up to the hill from MONA. Conditions were perfect last time Midnight Oil played there, basically got a free show from our deck.
There is unsecured PVC piping on Collins Street! #WhiteGold #PetrochemicalEconomy #Nipaluna #Politas
To quote Steve Old of Hospitality Tas, interviewed on ABC Hobart: "If a live music venue is complying with all laws, rules and regulations regarding noise levels and time limits, then they are acting within the law and free to do as they please." Viva The Salty Dog Hotel. #livemusic #politas #NIMBY

Strange to me that a lease extension on Hall's Island was granted by #Liberal Minister Ogilvie to a company that is currently in liquidation. #POLITAS
I hear office workers in State Health are being asked by management to strike break during upcoming industrial action by frontline health workers. #politas
... 2 The RACT was just on ABC Hobart Radio claiming that fuel may have risen by about $0.05 a litre. Are they just shills for the petroleum retail industry? I guess the motorists' friend have a cosy $0.06 per litre discount deal with one of the major retail chains to protect. #ConflictOfInterest
Last week, a fair proportion of Hobart servos were at about 156.9 a litre, in fact I filled up at that price at Ampol Moonah Thursday. Today, average price seems to be about 176.9. I didn't realise it was so quick to get fuel from its source to Tasmania and markup for war tax on new stock. #politas
In this article, my good and learned friend, Morgan Read of North Square Barristers sticks it to the Home Office and the UK Government's new regulations as to which passport British Dual Citizens can use to enter their country.

Reminder: May 2021. Then Liberal Govt MP Tim Wilson joined a run in support of Indigenous Australians, leading the pack ... for the first 100m as it left Parliament House. Then, when the tv cameras stopped filming, he turned and went back to his office. 🙄 #auspol

In the spirit of brotherly love, could I gently enquire why the almighty **** are government departments, government ministers and Labour MPs *STILL* using X?
42 years before the 2018 Hodgman Underground Bus Mall promise, I give you the 1976 Hodgman Hobart Railway Revitalisation Plan.
The "Fifty Years Ago Today" Mercury cabinet at the State Library never fails. #politas

What rock does he dwell under now?
New bill filed in Oklahoma that says every public university in the state must have a "Charlie Kirk memorial plaza" with a statue of Kirk and his family.
It's been more than three days.
Has Charlie Kirk risen yet?
Extensive bulletproof glass at the Charlie Kirk “memorial”… it’s almost like the problem is the guns.

"Where were you lot when Ms Haddad getting all of the shots from the community about this absolute lie around the fireplaces?" she asked.
"Where was your support for her when she was getting the exact same posts?
"You're a disgrace on that side if you don't think she deserves the same support"
