With this legislation on ice until after the upcoming #LegCo elections, now is the time to lobby your local MLC to get this ban done. This is not sport, it's torture. #politas

Breaking: Tasmanian government tries to avert parliamentary defeat of greyhound racing ban The Tasmanian government is deferring debate on its bill to ban greyhound racing, in the hopes of eventually winning over enough upper house members for it to pass.

Delayed until after the next legislative council election … www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04... #politas

Phase-out of Tasmanian greyhound racing - Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds “the time had come to make a call on the future of greyhound racing in Tasmania … “I’m concerned about the future of the industry and continue to be concerned about animal welfare.” On 10 August the T...

With the debate delayed, now is the time to lobby your local MLC to put this cruel, inhumane and degrading industry in the bin where it belongs - greyhoundcoalition.com/phase-out-ta... #politas

Powerful message to the Tasmanian Upper House today. I signed it too although it didn't make it into the published version. I'm sure there were many more like me. Over to you now LegCo. Let's get rid of this abominable and spurious 'sport'. #politas #auspol

Franklin should be renamed. While sure he was governor, his and his wife’s treatment of Mathinna is enough to remove any recognition furthermore

TL;DR anyone pitching for a new name for Franklin? @kevinbonham.bsky.social

I guess this is one way to make people on the spectrum feel really included. This is terrible data crunching, and for what point? www.themercury.com.au/education/su... #politas

I mean who cares that we have low digital literacy?! Just kick a football around a very expensive paddock. It’ll solve everything. #politas

They should just get in the bin surely?

And so it continues. Can’t raise taxes, can’t properly fund essential things like education. But yes we can afford a stadium. When will the outrage begin? #politas

I’m not sure she knows how things work 🤔

When you get stuck in your own vortex 🔁 #politas

ABC news article with the headline 'Tasmanian salmon farming emergency licence for antibiotic florfenicol revoked over 'unacceptable risk'

Better late than never. After my question to the Ag Minister on Monday, the regulator finally recognises the risk salmon companies are putting on the Tas environment and community. Removing the approval is good, but the companies still need to clean up their act. #politas #auspol

Can’t afford people to deliver basic services, can afford sports ball stadium 🤷🙄🤔😭🤬 #politas

The dismantling of the Tasmanian government department State Growth proves one thing: the Rockliff Government lied to Tasmanians.

25% of the State Growth workforce will be slashed.

They repeatedly said no job cuts and no cuts to public services.

Ep 04 - Please explain - Media Watch From political outsider to second-place contender. One Nation’s polling surge demands a deeper look at their policies.

Don’t be fooled by Hanson and her ilk. Yes many people are rightly disillusioned away from their party of choice, but her type of politics is void of ideas and downright dangerous. Watch this for just a start www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/e... #politas #auspol

Schoolyard spat: councillor's solution to property in neighbour's backyard ' ... there is no case for strong community benefit.'

On the one hand Trent Aitken hates the homeless, on the other he wants to be seen to be helping with this ridiculous thought bubble. Interesting www.theadvocate.com.au/story/917965... #politas #lgtas

We knew it was coming soon anyway but EMRS omnibus poll including TAS state and TAS federal is in the field. #politas

They’ll be in the wilderness for a while for sure, but I’d rather them than Hanson’s apocalypse

Angus Taylor resigns from shadow cabinet ahead of expected Liberal leadership challenge Taylor says party in ‘worst position’ since formation and says he doesn’t believe Sussan Ley is in position to lead

Things are bad when you just wish the Coalition would sort itself out, even if only to crush any prospect of Hanson or her ilk gaining any more seats www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #politas #auspol

This isn't incompetent journalism, this is deliberately malevolent journalism.

Margaret Kudelka is with Jon Kudelka and 2 others . Seonpotrdsm9g 5 4tf16gl m c5t15cch90t3ic9t97gmttlgc5tc1m8f 1 9a4m9 · We are sad to tell you that our beloved, brilliant Jon Kudelka died peacefully in South Hobart on Sunday afternoon, surrounded by his family and friends. He was 53. Jon was deeply loved and admired by many, including fellow Tasmanians, the legions of fans of his inimitable art, countless newspaper readers over 30 years, and even by the politicians he relentlessly skewered in his award-winning cartoons (many of whom have his work on their walls). He loved his family, friends, making art in many forms, and firmly calling out political and anti-science bullshit with his typically dry wit and compassion. Jon was diagnosed with glioblastoma in early 2024 and faced treatment for two years with positivity and hope, supported by his wife, Maggie, teenage children Kay and Oskar, sister Liesl, and his many friends. Jon believed in showing up fully for life and embracing humour even in the hardest of times. In the past two years, he was heard many times to say, ironically, “good times”. Jon’s presence remains in the love he gave and the lives he touched. He will always be with us. Funeral details to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations in Jon’s memory to The Bob Brown Foundation, Canteen Australia or The Menzies Institute for Medical Research.

In the worst news, the great, the amazing, the wonderful @kudelka.bsky.social has died.

A great friend, and an amazing man.

This is shattering.

Vale Jon Kudelka - a smart arse, champion of Australian flora and fauna, and fucking awesome bloke.
