If you grow #potatoes in #Tasmania, please check your crops for diseases.

Potato mop-top virus ( #PMTV ) has been detected in Tasmania for the 1st time. To the best of our knowledge, this virus is not widespread in the region yet, but it is crucial to be vigilant for this disease. - buff.ly/A7ovJ8g

This is the elephant in the room the Tasmanian Liberals don’t want to talk about.

We are paying nearly $2million a day in interest on the state debt.

Net debt is now worse than post WW1, WW2 and the Great Depression. All thanks to the Liberals. Utter incompetence.
Wow! Talk about a sobering experience - a briefing by Treasury officials to cross benchers shows how the debt burden is eating up our future.
They’re warning it’s “mathematically impossible to grow our way out of debt” because we’re borrowing as if using a credit card to pay for both the mortgage1/2

Turns out the former Tas Liberal member booted by the voters of Braddon is now a principal advisor to the Tasmanian Premier on $245k a year. Nobody knows what he actually does.

Bridget’s electorate office of five couldn’t cope with basic constituent enquiries. Emails, calls, letters ignored.

How will she go with *one* staffer in state politics?
www.abc.net.au/listen/progr... Says someone who was anti-stadium until she lost her federal seat and now wants back on the gravy train. The "bigger picture" is decades of debt. For what? A football team and a stadium we don't need. #politas
'We have to look at the bigger picture': Bridget Archer - ABC listen
The Liberals candidate for Bass explains why Tasmania can't abandon the stadium.

So many Tasmanians still wondering: what has the AFL promised the Premier post-politics?

No such thing as a nuanced discussion in Tasmania.

Never has been. Never will be.

Go to a family funeral. Service booklet contains a recipe for savoury toast.

All the aunties LOSE THEIR MINDS as under no circumstances should this recipe be written down.

If your own staff don’t know the Housing Connect number for crisis accommodation; where Centrelink is located or the local free pantry opening hours you’re not fit to be in Parliament. Leadership matters.

Seems everyone ~outside~ of Bass is an expert on Bridget Archer.

She was a lousy local member. Her office was hopeless. Homeless/vulnerable people turned away daily. Emails unanswered. Phone calls not returned. They didn’t even know about ~basic~ support services.

For the record, Joe Hockey is a defence lobbyist who stands to make millions from defence contracts with the US and other allies. To just describe him in interviews as a former US ambassador and not his CURRENT vested interest role is not just irresponsible, it's lying.

For those up the back:
The Tas AFL team mascot a deliberate distraction from Tas Lib Minority Govt’s scandalous budget mismanagement and savage public sector cuts.
