Powerline payouts like a lotto win for some farmers, but others won't budge The fate of the contentious Marinus Link project lies in the hands of hundreds of Tasmanian landowners, some of whom are welcoming the financial compensation. For others, it's a different story.

Had #DeanWinter and Labor won more seats than #JeremyRockliff and the Liberals, then Winter, purely in terms of earning a mandate, might be in a position to reneg on a pre-election promise that it was either a majority Labor government or nothing.

But Labor lost the popular vote. Simple as that.

Marinus Link facing delays By PHILIP HOPKINS   MARINUS Link, which aims to connect Victoria and Tasmania through a 345-kilometre electricity and communications cable to the Latrobe Valley, is “at risk” due to a political stand-off in Tasmania and concerns about its impact on power prices, according to The Australian newspaper. The Australian reported on the weekend that the federal and state governments were ready to go ahead with the $5 billion Marinus Link, but Tasmania is struggling to make a final decision on the 750-Megawatt ‘Stage 1’ cable that was promised before July 31. Marinus Link’s proposed 1500 MW undersea and underground electricity connection and communications link will provide access to 1500 MW of capacity from Tasmania, including pumped hydro storage to provide base-load electricity when needed in Victoria. The underground cable will go through South Gippsland to join the main Latrobe Valley and Victorian transmission line at the old Hazelwood power station site. The Tasmanian Liberal government is stuck in caretaker mode after the July 19 election and is negotiating its survival in minority with crossbenchers, some of whom oppose Marinus, The Australian reported. The government is suppressing the final ‘whole of state’ business case received 10 weeks ago and is accused of breaching caretaker conventions by refusing to brief the Labor Party. This has raised concerns that the link is at risk, with a window about to close on the purchase of cabling that, if missed, could kill off the project. “There is real concern that the potentially transformative project may fall over,” the newspaper reported. “Power-sharing talks with crossbenchers could take weeks to conclude, even after the final seats are determined by August 2.” By the end of August, Marinus Link must “issue notice to proceed” or lose a 600 million Euro ($1.07bn) contract for supply of the 345km of cable with the Italy-based Prysmian Group. The business case is believed to detail increases in power prices if Marinus Link goes ahead. The Australian said last Thursday, Tasmania’s Premier, Jeremy Rockliff, gave conflicting statements on the project, saying Marinus “was a good deal for Tasmania” but he would not support it “if it is going to cost Tasmanian taxpayers more”. “We need to ensure power prices do not go up,” he told The Australian.

Premier Rockliff reflects on campaign and Tasmanian democracy ahead of state election Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff has spoken warmly about the importance of democracy and reflected on a hard-fought campaign as the state heads into a pivotal election weekend.

#JeremyRockliff and the Liberals at the end of election day look like holding onto power in #Tasmania, but as expected, not with a majority.

A snap election brought on by a "storm in a teacup" no confidence motion against Rockliff by Labor leader #DeanWinter and the Greens.

Rockliff is a nice guy.

Next to the photo is says: Felix Ellis Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Management, Minister for Housing, Planning and Consumer Affairs, Minister for Skills and Training, Member for Braddon The main part of the Press Release says: The key so-called independents who could hold the balance of power after Saturday's election are destructive left-wing radicals. They want to end agriculture, aquaculture, forestry and manufacturing. They've said it themselves. They will shut down the traditional industries that have built Tasmania's prosperity. They will destroy jobs and hurt Tasmanian families. They will force up taxes. Tasmanians need to think twice about voting for a so-called independent. They are even more dangerous than the Greens.

Tasmanian state election day is here!

Approximately 25% of voters have opted to vote early, which sets a new record, and aligns with the pattern in in other recent state and federal elections. I believe it's a clear sign of a healthy Democracy for people to have […]

'Weak': State headed for early election as war of words erupts between leaders in parliament Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff has threatened to call a snap election rather than resign after the opposition tabled a no-confidence motion against him on Tuesday.

I don't claim to know too much at all about #Tasmania 's politics, but it's guaranteed that this Labor / Green "mob job" on Liberal premier #JeremyRockliff all has to do with the new AFL stadium in #Hobart, which is going to cost nearly $1 billion, which he supports but a big % of Tasmanians do not.

#JeremyRockliff appears to give Nazi salute, debating Labor’s no confidence motion. BL #EricAbetz arms akimbo dominant territorial, ‘I own this place’ superior display supports Rockliff with angry aggressive fists, authoritarian fingerpointing blame, false tie adjust to up alpha.

Every time #jeremyrockliff and #EricAbetz make a statement from now on thousands of #Tasmanians will ask: “Is it true, or is it a lie?” What a dreadful legacy. #Politas

The only breast cancer screening bus in #Tasmania is 21 years old and off the road for repairs. But #jeremyrockliff and #TasLiberal say they have enough money to build an unpopular stadium. That shows the #politas priorities.
