tasmanianinquirer.com.au/news/senior-... Salmon with a side of botulism. Hmm, yum. Poor birds. What a filthy, disgusting industry. #toxicsalmon

Official flagged possible botulism link to dead birds.

A Tasmanian government official queried whether the deaths of 20 birds at a salmon farm could have been due to botulism caused by rancid fish feed.

🙉🙈🙊 Days before an election, Tasmania’s two major parties are yet to explain how they would address concerns about a lack of transparency with lobbyists. What's Labor's position, given the Liberal govt cut funding to implement proposed reforms? #politas

After 20 dead cormorants were found floating in a pen at a Tasman Peninsula #salmon farm, a government official raised concerns that botulism caused by rancid fish feed could be the culprit. Bob Burton traced what happened next. #politas

Do you have any comments about the impact of letterboxing, door knocking, corflutes influencing voter decisions? I would say door knocking has the best hit rate?

Thanks.

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07... The LibLabs don't give a flying fuck about Tasmania's environment. They pay it little attention and when they do it's lip service bullshit or policies that actually make things worse. Libs last, Labor second last on my ballot. #politas

Tasmania's environment is under pressure, but issue is sidelined in election campaign

If you're looking for a magic number on #politas election night, @benraue.com notes that since 2006 every ticket that polled over 0.7 quotas (which is 8.75% for 7-member electorates) won a seat. You're more likely than not to win two seats if you poll over 1.5 quotas (18.75%).

How do votes turn into seats in Tasmania?

You need a quota to win a seat in a Tasmanian House of Assembly election. But in practice no-one polls exactly a quota. In reality, the final seats are decided by partial quotas and the distributio…
