The Planning Commission has spoken

G’day John,
********************

On Wednesday the Tasmanian Planning Commission (TPC) released
their report on the proposed AFL stadium at Macquarie Point in
Hobart.

This report confirms again what every independent expert has been
telling us and what most Tasmanians know in their guts - we can't
afford it and it's in the wrong place.

You would have thought the Premier would take this opportunity to
tell the AFL that we need to renegotiate this terrible deal. We
deserve a team, and we should have had one years ago.

It’s particularly grinding my gears this week, because the Hobart
Clinic, Tassie’s only large-scale private mental health clinic,
is closing, our health system is on its knees, and our literacy
rate is still going backwards! We just can’t afford this stadium
especially when we have a perfectly good one at York Park in
Launceston.

Every donation helps us stay independent, run grassroots
campaigns, fight for services, and hold the big parties
accountable.

What really blows me away is that ten minutes after the Planning
Commission published their report, the Premier was on social
media thanking the TPC commissioners and telling Tasmanians he
was going to go ahead anyway because apparently ‘this is bigger
than politics’. The problem is that it's bad politics that got us
into this mess in the first place. There was an election coming
up, and they wanted to say they were the government that got
Tasmania a team! It was a handshake deal, not run by the treasury
and with no viable business case.

Thank God we have some independent MPs in the Tasmanian upper
house.
I hope they can find the courage that Premier Rockliff lacks.
Let’s hope they can stop this and do what all elected
representatives are supposed to do – make decisions in the best
interests of Tasmanians!

Cheers!

Jacqui
