All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

Lolwtf?!?!!! How is it that we have built 4 brand new boats in total for Devonport and not a single one has been suitable for BEING IN DEVONPORT?! Was there nobody who thought to ask an expert before commissioning them?!?!
And...the Nth West Tugboats, they are not going to get a berth at the new Devonport Ferry Terminal, they are not fit for Nth West weather & water conditions.

Absolutely, it's the pulp mill saga all over again. Approved by both major parties, it never got built thank goodness. This monstrosity will have cost blow-outs we have never seen the like of in this state. Look at the wharf and the new ferries disaster. 😳

This really is worth reading. It is a profound statement, capturing many community responses. For me it makes clear that the Liberals, with Labor's help, have used the hopes of a struggling population against it. Dividing us in the process. It is unconscionable.

The one solid fact of this whole debacle is that Tasmania deserves an AFL team, and has long deserved AFL representation without having to spend OVER A BILLION DOLLARS to get it. This will go down in state history as an unfair deal.

This stadium is to space exploration what Katy Perry is to space exploration. Petition to call it The Katy Perry Astronautical Stadium.

Dean Harriss compared going for the stadium to JFK putting a man on the moon and it’s the first time I’ve laughed all day.

Many Hours Later: Wow. So this is leveraging Hobart’s historical beef with Launceston to give them FOMO about not hosting this concert. Playing the 2 cities off against each other like toxic parents encouraging their children to compete, hoping we don’t notice they’ve proved the stadium unnecessary.
Lowest arts funding in the country despite a tourism industry that relies heavily on the local artists and artisans…. But it’s no problem to find $500k to subsidise Dave flipping Grohl?!? Are you kidding?

So the Foo Fighters are coming to Tasmania because the government paid $500k to "help facilitate that." I wonder how much "facilitation" will be going on to entice acts to the stadium. To the 40% who so desperately wanted this, you have been conned. #politas

I named my fists Simon & Garfunkel because when I’m done, the only sound you’ll hear is silence.
I named my fists Knit and Purl because you're gonna need stitches.
I named my fists Strummer and Jones because you're be going to be calling out for London

Journalists or anyone who who wants to bring attention to the stadium decision in Tas, be quick! IMO it is an issue of national significance to see big business colluding with government to bleed an already disadvantaged population dry. Upper house debate starts Wednesday, vote probably Thursday.

I once made it all the way to Christmas despite multiple retail visits, but I fully expect the Gen X targeted radio at work to take me out & then spit on my grave this year. 😢 Super brutal because I despise all non-carol Christmas songs except for Mariah Carey’s undeniable achievement.

It’s never been harder to escape domestic violence than now. The scope for surveillance and control is unfathomable to an ethical person - reactive patriarchy and neo-tech capitalism work in symbiosis, with tools available to your average abusive partner that were inconceivable only a decade ago.
![In one example several years ago, a woman's car had a "kill switch" activated that prevented her from driving beyond a 1 kilometre radius from her home.
"[The woman] basically had this very small environment where she could drop the kids off at school, go to the grocery store, but couldn't do much beyond it," Ms Inman Grant said.
"So she kept going to the family mechanic, who happened to be a friend of her partner's, and of course he had orchestrated it all, and once she figured that out through a domestic and family violence service, she was able to get the issue addressed elsewhere."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nfpnrj26dwghildumnphjuee/bafkreic6vy5ebom42fkpufk4kw37hpzcajvtwhonrwkbdm2y5jbjqxroby@jpeg)

Home from the pool, can’t find the cat anywhere - turns out he was locked inside the linen cupboard 🥹
Fortunately for only about 15 minutes, and he was not panicked.
