@AliAlishah2 The very next verse is also valuable. Don't let me stop you.

[Michael Ferguson @fergusonmichael]

@AliAlishah2 I dare to believe it's true

[Michael Ferguson @fergusonmichael]

@bj_stansfield That's a fair observation. We do not have to wonder what these particular Labor MPs would be demanding on the news tonight if a different party of assistant ministers and shadow ministers were exposed playing "shag, marry or shoot", ridiculing or objectifying any of them.

@gasugasu1984 That is love. It never dies.

[Michael Ferguson @fergusonmichael]

It’s an absolute tragedy that two competitors have died in the Sydney-Hobart yacht race. My heart goes out to their families, friends and teammates 🙏

[Michael Ferguson @fergusonmichael]

@HonTonyAbbott Agreed. Well said. A shame for Victorians who want a viable and strong alternative government.

Statement from the family of the late Kevin Andrews:

[Jeremy Rockliff @jeremyrockliff]

Tonight, we have requested and accepted the resignation of the Chairman of TT-Line, effective immediately.

We need 100% focus on solutions to deliver our new Spirits and their supporting infrastructure.

I am confident that we can now get on with delivering this once-in-a-generation project for Tasmanians.

[Jeremy Rockliff @jeremyrockliff]

The delays to infrastructure for our new Spirits is unacceptable.

But I am not interested in excuses, or the blame game.

I want solutions and I want them now.

We will immediately be deploying two infrastructure experts to help get the job done, including the project manager currently finishing the new Bridgewater Bridge build.

I have directed that all the necessary Government support be made available for them to achieve this task.

We will be pulling out all stops to get this done as soon as possible.

That’s what Tasmanians expect, and that’s what we’ll be delivering.

[Jeremy Rockliff @jeremyrockliff]

Queen Mary 🤝 Ariarne Titmus.

Two Tasmanians we couldn't be prouder of.

What a special moment 💙

[Tasmanian Liberals @TasLiberal]

This Saturday, we all face an important choice. #politas

A slightly larger press pack today in Hobart, welcoming Danish media outlets who are here to celebrate and learn more about Tasmanian-born Crown Princess Mary.

Our Government has invested heavily in our track and rolling stock and the investment is now paying off across a number of industries, particularly forestry. https://t.co/GB4DeZUjMT

@fergusonmichael, @felix_ellis and @JaneHowlettMLC out in Brighton today with workers hearing about the major transformation that's happening in Tasmanian log transport with a 10-fold increase in logs transported on rail over the past 10 years.

Helping make the news tonight with these industry stars ⭐⭐⭐ at @LSTAirport

[Michael Ferguson @fergusonmichael]

Tasmanian families are working hard to provide for their kids’ future.

Destroying whole communities with Canberra politics is unacceptable.

We will not allow aquaculture workers to be sacrificed by the same politicians and the same activists who destroyed timber jobs in 2013.

[Michael Ferguson @fergusonmichael]

@DeanWinterMP Deano you are developing your current leader's bad habit of making stuff up as you go along. People who enjoy your commentary might be misled into thinking the independent regulator is the same thing as the elected government which has consistently supported the development.

[Jeremy Rockliff @jeremyrockliff]

Great to see the five-month shutdown condition imposed on the Robbins Island Wind Farm project overturned today.

However, more needs to be done to secure environmental approvals for energy projects.
