Tasmanian Planning Commission report today has killed the possibility of a new AFL stadium being built in Hobart. At an estimated cost of $1.2bn, over $700m that will have to be paid by Tasmanians, which they cant afford. Great embarrassment for the AFL Commision and former

AFL and Tassie govt should rip by the current contract, and renew plans to upgrade the ground, stadium and facilities in Launceston. The current proposal was always going to end in economic tears. Was never going to succeed.

What a mess is the Victorian Government. The police force headless and leaderless, the State declining to debt levels unimaginable 10 years ago, and the Govt threatening to sign massive financial new contracts for a dud project for which they have no money. The train wreck is

Any act by the Allan government to sign new contracts for the Suburban Rail Link, that have a life beyond Oct 2026, their term in office would be a deliberate act of financial sabotage. The Opposition should state clearly that ny such contracts signed will not be honoured, so

Australia hasg got off lightly from President Trumps tariffs announced today. Prime Minister blasts Trump Stupid. Accept what another country does and work with those countries to our north to create new opportunities for both. We need to maintain good relationships with the US

Vale Petro Georgio. A wonderful human being. A predigious mind. A great local member of the Federal Parliament for the seat of Kooyong. Without Petro's work prior to the State election in 1992 we would never have wo that election. We are indebted to Petro. Heart goes out to

Of course we all comment on things political But what is happening in northern Queensland is absolutly deverstating for farming famlies and communities. Their pain is our shared pain. There should be some coordinated way those of us down south can do something constructive. Which

Very sad to read of the passing of Tony Rundle. Premier of Tasmania 1996-1998. He always gave wise counsel at Premiers confrences. But his quiet demeener was evidenced by his calm handling of the terrible Port Arthur massacre. Tony was a great advocate for Tasmania. Thank you

I do not know if Eddie McGuire said it or is being accurately reported. But anyone suggesting that Michael Voss should or might be replaced as Coach of Carlton if the Blues lose to West Coast this weekend is being disrespectful at best. Have they forgotten we at Hawthorn lost the

I acknowledge the death of Pope Francis. He has served his community and beyond. Leading a church that has members throughout the world carries extraordinary responsibility. He lead with dignity and courage. Vale Pope Francis

Amazing! Not really. We now find out Victorias Curfew call was not based on medical advice, but was a political call by then Premier Andrews. Premier Allan continues the coverup by refusing when questioned today to disclose who's idea it was. Remember Then Premier Andrews, and

A very clear win to the Labor Party. Congratulations to the Prime Minister and his team. Lets hope Labor can govern in their own right. Tomorrow is a new day for all of us. We will wake up and get on with our lives. Knowing another election has been won and lost in a peaceful way

Some of the contributors are expressing fear of the future. Fear not! Put politics behind you from tomorrow. We are living in a new world. Trump, tecnology and different international alligencies. We all need to adjust to the new era.

There is something delightful when a person who consistently public called for another individual to fail, wjen they themselves are rejected. Adam Bandt in consistently calling for Peter Dutton to fail, showed how from Bandt's leadership had strayed from the ideals and priorities

S & P ratings have been threatening Victoria with a credit rating downgrade for months and have done nothing. They are complicit with the Victorian government in the financial abyss Victoria now finds itself. I wonder how much the Vic govt pays S & P each year to be part of their

Why is ABC televison given so much airtime, every night to the trial in the US involving the Rapper Sean Diddy Combs? It has no relevance to most Australians and is another indication of how out of touch they are with Australians.

Zoe Daniel, You should re read what you said about Trump not accepting defeat in 2020. And apply it to your self. You often get an insight into one personality, not when victorious, but in defeat. I know you would be upset, but be gracious rather than being bitter.

As you know I am supporting John Pesutto in his attempts to avoid bankruptcy as a result of the action bought against him by Moria Deeming. John made comments that the court found defamatory of Ms Deeming and he paid $316,000 in damages. Now Ms Deeming is seeking the payment of

Tasmanian stadium as proposed dead in the water. Another example where the AFL Commission failed its duty of care responsibilities, supported by a group of Presidents who simply fell into line. Urgent need to realign to deliver a Tasmanian team
