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.

My opinion of them was low anyway but I will never get over Tas Labor lining up to cheer on a Liberal vanity project instead of the teachers and nurses they are supposedly there to represent.

Standing room only at Tasmanian Parliament gender affirming panel qnews.com.au/standing-roo... #politas #auspol #LGBTIQA
I’m still buzzing from yesterday. This is what true leadership, equality, and respect for the trans and gender-diverse community looks like. Thank you to everyone who attended. #auspol #politas #LGBTIQA
Thanks to everyone who helped organise and attended today’s gender health care forum in the state parliament, as well as the launch of the new Parliamentary Friends of LGBTIQA+ Tasmanians.

Great step forward for LGBTIQA Tasmanians with the launch of the state’s first Government LGBTIQA Strategy. Next step, an Action Plan with funded, measurable outcomes in 2026.

Two decades ago the Tas. Govt put all its apples in a pulp mill. One decade ago it put them in Mona (a $408M loss maker for the owner from which the already propped up hospitality and tourism sectors benefited).This decade the apples are going in a stadium as demanded by vested interests. #politas

Equality Tasmania has welcomed support from the state’s local government conference for councils to consult with the LGBTIQA community and develop action plans:

Some groups continue to use extreme examples to seek blanket bans on trans women, this time in Tasmanian women’s prison.
The current TasGov case-by-case approach is a sensible one that protects all women. Equality Tasmania has asked the Government to maintain and develop it.

Yesterday, the Australian newspaper said Tasmania has banned trans women from women’s prisons. Today, the Hobart Mercury reported that’s not true and the TasGov continues to allow trans women to be held in the state’s women’s prison.

A big thank you to the Hobart Mercury for publishing my article about what remains to be done despite Tasmania leading the nation on financial redress for victims of our former laws against homosexuality and cross-dressing. As you’ll see, there’s quite a bit.

Peak education bodies including the Tasmanian Association of State School Organisations and the Tasmanian branch of the Australian Education Union support schools that are inclusive of trans and gender diverse students. See comments for more.

Tasmanian’s groundbreaking financial redress scheme for victims of our former laws against homosexuality and cross-dressing have unanimously passed parliament. It’s a great day for victim survivors, for the LGBTIQA community and for cooperative politics.

Again, more evidence that the ALP aren’t serious about the climate and biodiversity crises on this planet. Shame on @murraywatt and @albomp.bsky.social. You have opportunities to be revolutionary in this space like your predecessors. #politas #auspol

Minister Julie Collins on ABC radio saying you can have strong Env laws and a salmon industry so why did she vote to weaken the existing law for multinational tax avoiding companies? Totally gutless! #politas Do not vote for duopoly.

This budget was a missed opportunity to get dental into Medicare.
To make the big corporations pay their fair share of tax.
Instead of focusing on cost-of-living relief, Labor used the cover of the budget to do a deal with Dutton to gut our environment laws.

Tasmanian salmon farms produce 6 times more pollution each year than Tasmania’s entire sewage.
