State in crisis as it heads to another poll. Tasmania’s winter of discontent

Disabled debt, political turmoil and controversial AFL Stadium Tasmanya’yı in a crisis. GREG Barns Reports.
One week to the Middle Winter Election Campaign of Tasmania, we can only say that the greenery in the lower house of the state of the state is supported by most independent and most independent.
Dean Winter, the leader of Labor, and the leading Jeremy Rockliff are examples of what we have in Australia today – political leaders who lack a great picture vision.
The election campaign is depressing because Tasmania is in the worst financial position from other states in Australia, but neither the liberals nor the labor force care. On the contrary, they spend great.
Then there is the fact that a sports stadium is the front and center of the campaign. The crisis of homelessness, terrible low literacy rates, the worst health results of the nation and so on.
Afl Gun
The stadium was imposed on Tasmania by the most arrogant and ugly sports organization in this country – AFL. The Tasmania government told the government whether he wanted a team in the country’s leading sports competition, and then he should build a permanent stadium with a coast site in Macquarie Point.
It was a gun in your head. Note that you expect the Tasmanian government to put the interests of the people in the first place and insist on some negotiations on the stadium site and cost, and it was a very advanced step considering the registry of the liberal government.
The stadium decided to break down the planning process and to coach through special legislation to break down the planning process and to get AFL’s requests.
Economy
However, the main issue in the election is that Tasmania returns to red again. He was there in the late 1980s and in the early 1990s and was excavated by a series of labor and liberal government.
This time, since 2014, in the government, the liberals of Mr. Rockliff, who had to take the crime. As the leading economist Saul Meslake said in an operation published in Hobart Mercury at the beginning of this week, he said to a large extent that the public financing of Tasmania is the worst of any state or region in many metric.
“The 2025-26 State Budget Presented Last Monic Shows That Tasmania’s Public Second-That Is, Inclument Government Business Enterprises and Agencies Who Constitute Core Equivalent 5½ Per Cent’s Gross State Product Over The Four Years to 2028-29.
One billion for the upper stadium
The stadium will cost Tasmanian taxpayers over $ 1 billion – already $ 945 million. Then there are other promises given by both labor and liberals. There is no talk about the fight against debt. In short, a Alice in the Wonderland and the breads and circuses of both big parties are approaching.
Of course, even a month, even for a month, the workers or liberals are unlikely that they should buy 18 chairs required for the majority in the Assembly House. The liberals currently have 14 seats and 10 workers.
It is currently 5 green and 6 independent, but the second of the latter under the national party flag in this election, holding the balance of power. It is difficult to say what the cross -counter makeup will be after the election, but it cannot be paid attention that the greens will be king producers. This will please both the Labor Party and the liberals – the first has a visceral hatred against something green.
While talking about candidates, former Federal MPs are approved as a candidate for labor and liberals. Talk about the lack of imagination. After the Senate lost his seat in the 2019 elections, a minister in the state government, Gavin Pearce, Bridget Archer and Brian Mitchell’s former Government of Howard Eric Abe, standing in the election. Mr. Pearce and Mrs. Archer were the federal liberal deputies who lost their seats in the last elections, and Mr. Mitchell was a member of the worker for retired Lyons.
In this gloomy election campaign, the only and I mean is the ‘no stadium’ candidates win seats. And in doing so, get the message that the leading – Mr. Rockliff or Mr. Winter – Tasmanians expect the governments of Tasmanians to give priority to scarce resources for those who cannot find housing or waiting for years for surgery. And, of course, the expectation of reducing the disabled debt, which governments are upset about today.
In the meantime, this island state, as always, continues to drift aimlessly for something that will save and save it from its failed status status.
