@swegen31 True story. Pre kids when living on the mainland, I saw a role advertised. Went for it. Came down to final two for a junior media role with the St Kilda Football Club. Still my greatest career regret, and the list of regrets is growing!

*rural communities! Fat thumbs!

[Luke Martin @LukeMartin1983]

Don’t have to be a medical scientist to see there is clearly “something” influencing the clusters of Parkinson’s and MND in rural communist areas with historically high usages of pesticides. https://t.co/XYQk9G8PwY

@kevinbonham I guess where a minister has blatantly not told the truth, for a legitimate reason, and all forgiven when that reason is understood. 🤔

[Luke Martin @LukeMartin1983]

Maybe Rockliff should just swear ChatGPT into a couple of ministerial portfolios..

Lower risk.

Tourism Tas budget now at lowest levels since Will Hodgman left office. At a time when other states are so fiercely competing for the visitor $, Tasmania applies an “efficiency dividend” that will mean less marketing activity in our visitor markets. Just dumb. #politas

@SimonDavisTas @HawthornFC @AJFair85 Anyway, the football gods have now decreed. So, that's that. But seems very short sighted

[Luke Martin @LukeMartin1983]

Makes no sense not letting @HawthornFC continue to play a game or two in Tassie, if they are willing to.
Nonsense to suggest it would diminish the Devils, and Launceston and York Park need as much major events content as it can get. Silly approach.
@AJFair85

[Luke Martin @LukeMartin1983]

@SimonDavisTas @HawthornFC @AJFair85 Yes - two or three a year - one of them a home game against the Devils. What’s the downside?

Makes much more sense than paying ridiculous amounts for the occasional A league fixture or no one cares about, or a BBL fixture no one travels for.

@Tasinsurance @JoshWillie1 Are you any clearer from his answers what exactly you are?

[Luke Martin @LukeMartin1983]

The irony of @stkildafc ceo - of all clubs - questioning the logic of expanding the AFL to include @FC_Tasmania.

Perhaps it’s the same logic as the @afl perennially propping up unsuccessful Melbourne clubs…

@tasinsure Funny. Come to think of it,,,wonder who owns the trademark for “Building Tasmania?”

[Luke Martin @LukeMartin1983]

So, from what I can decipher, @tasinsure is going to be some weird unit sitting somewhere in the periphery of the public sector occasionally sticking its head up with policy advice and consumer advocacy.

Like the answer to a bad joke.

@tasinsure Vintage?

You reckon value has gone up?
I’d been planning to hang on to this little number for a little longer, but if you think already a collectors item, might start the bidding now!

(Don’t judge - I was planning to donate the proceeds to TT Line!)

[Luke Martin @LukeMartin1983]

@tasinsure Sorry to say, I think you’re going from Main Street shopfront, to a spare hot desk somewhere in whatever state growth becomes.

[Luke Martin @LukeMartin1983]

@escxksn Can someone explain to me, in the final, do they just do the same performance again?

Or do they change the production?

[Luke Martin @LukeMartin1983]

@bj_stansfield Interesting idea - reckon $750 million buys a lot of Australian mono-haul shipyard…

[Luke Martin @LukeMartin1983]

Recall like yesterday the hubris from TT Line about the business case for the new ships.

“So solid, we could get a loan from the local bank” still rings in my ears.

Passengers and taxpayers will be paying for this hubris for decades to come.

Hold a royal commission #politas
