Missed this a few days back - Senator Wendy Askew who was already retiring at the next election is now going to quit the Senate within weeks. This means the Liberals are now preselecting for two casual vacancies, winners will presumably be 1-2 on ticket for 2028. #politas
"We're all just really -filthy and angry," a greyhound trainer said last year about the decision to ban racing
I'll tell what I am filthy/angry about. These awful injuries. It is cruelty #politas

#Politas MLCs and the handful of backward @TasmanianLabor MPs who still barrack for this repulsive non ‘industry’ have some explaining to do to vast majority of folk who want #GreyhoundRacing ended asap. https://t.co/MOUjsC6Owi
Tasmanian Greens have released a draft bill to ban LGBTQ conversion practices, still legal in Tasmania, WA, the NT and Queensland. It sets up a prevention framework and criminal offences, with a vote due in September. #auspol#politas

AI data centres have been a disaster for communities elsewhere (water, electricity, noise, etc) but apparently here in Tasmania we're getting the good kind of data centre that the community will barely even notice. What a relief! #politas https://t.co/Mg1l2qH7d5

What if you don’t have a grudge against your own country @HonTonyAbbott ? What if you love the place? Think it’s brilliant? Love the way it flows through different cultures? Don’t the Socceroos prove that this is in large part true?
Sarah Schwartz from the JCA has been called to give evidence at the RC at 10am today. Great to see that the RC will hear from a different voices experience

Broken ‘promises’ in politics. Spare us the smelling salts. If Tasmanian #GreyhoundRacing didn’t spot all the pointers to rapidly shifting public sentiment against their cruel, unpopular gambling based entertainment, heads were in sand all the way up to their ankles? #politas
