Despite barely any population growth, Tasmania doesn't have enough houses
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-19/tas-housing-in-demand-despite-poor-population-growth-your-say/106915546People need to be stopped from hoarding houses if we're going to increase housing affordability for low-income renters and middle-income people who want to buy a home.
Nobody is saying it.
The article devotes just one sentence to hinting at the problem: "However, that does not take into consideration other factors, such as the number of homes sitting vacant."Real estate agents are financially motivated by selling more houses to rich people who treat them as collectables that remain unused. Politicians are financially motivated by donations from property developers and wannabe property moguls. Of course these people are saying the solution to the problem is "Increase supply," and increase the offerings for this unhealthy spiral. The solution is to wean rich people off their hoarding-addiction for houses.

This is interesting for politics nerds – the borders of Tasmania's five parliamentary seats have been juggled around a lot, and the seat of Franklin has been surprisingly renamed as Tongerlongeter, after an Aboriginal resistance warrior:

More total incompetence (leaning towards evil) from a government that has built a strong track record of an inability to make good decisions and no capability to implement them.

We sold our home and settled on April 10th. I just got a rates notice from the council. Contacted the Conveyancer and…. It currently takes ~4 months for the Land Titles Office to process changes of ownership.
This government can’t even manage a simple, time sensitive process but it will apparently be able to manage the development, budget, construction and operation of a >$1B stadium that we don’t need, has been stated by the Consultency firm the government appointed as not being financially viable.

Can't say I'm surprised, since Tas Labor provoked the last election then refused to work with the Greens to take power. Why would you vote for Labor in Tasmania, if it's not interested in being in government? #taspol

Tasmanian politics really hitting the hard stuff. Premier Rockliff has been censured by Parliament, which amounts to basically nothing.
This is after two Ministers resigned after breaching the Ministerial integrity code.
We have a crooked Government and an ineffective opposition. The censure was brought about by the Greens!

News flash…. CPR Will soon be declared ‘elective surgery’ in #Tasmania. #TasPol. Still, if you can afford a ticket, you could always go to the new #Stadium to reassure yourself that our money is being spent wisely. 🙄

Tasmanian maths:
Let's help first time house buyers into the market by cutting $10,000 from the current first time buyers grant.
(I guess the money for the stadium has to come from somewhere?)

Hell hath no fury like a tasmanian mother receiving a tassal salmon tea towel, brought home by their child who was "gifted" this toxic BS to take home from school.
It's only on the meta of MP for franklin Peter George, so instead of linking, here's what I'd do with such a tea towel.
Vintage tea towel printed with the same vinyl that is used for fossil fuel promoting rugby sweaters.

@stephengentle The good news is that the Federal and Tasmanian State Governments have given the workers a stay of execution.
They're covering three weeks' pay: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-23/analysis-liberty-bell-bay-wages-rescue-package/106586958
It's better than being sacked, stood down, or placed on indefinite leave as of tomorrow (Friday).
But they'll be back in the same position in three weeks unless a buyer comes forward.
Now.
If you support the idea of Australia having a viable manufacturing sector, then keeping the country's only manganese smelter open could be seen as nationally important.
In which case, it should probably be nationalised.
But that's another story.

Ah.. 'tis that time of year when you shouldn't "come down for a breath of fresh air"
Thanks for this slogan Tourism Tasmania.
Surely the forestries could find a better way to clear their destruction?
Note: since I started typing the alt text, it has gone up to 124.

The workers at Australia's only manganese smelter, Liberty Bell Bay in Tasmania, could be laid off as soon as *this Friday* unless a buyer steps up.
They've been told to take leave without pay or lose their jobs.
The federal and state government need to take action:

Here's some background about what happened. It involves a private equity firm and Sanjeev Gupta, who also sank the Whyalla steel mill: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-23/liberty-bell-bay-liquidation/106485590

Looks like Tasmania is not as progressive as they would like us to believe. Very disappointing that 2 Labor MLC's oppose the bill.

First the government opened the borders; let it rip, told us to live with it, and now they're taking free RATs away from those who can least afford it. The affordable RAT option from pharmacies that they mention - $7.99 for a single.
It's lot to pay when you are already stretching your budget to afford fuel to get to your job and food for basic survival.
Not to mention going into a pharmacy where there's a nice old dear topping up her angina medication where she'll probably get infected. Though I guess most people do that anyway

Make #Gas Giants Pay
Gas #corporations are making billions from #Australian gas – while the rest of us pay higher energy bills.
They extract publicly owned gas, sell it overseas at record profits, and pay next to nothing back in #tax. In #Queensland alone, gas companies made $36 billion in a single year and paid ZERO tax.

Pauline Hanson seems to be everywhere again: in headlines, commentary, across social media and even in fake AI-generated posts spreading outrage online.
On top of her recent bump in the polls, the politics of division is heating up. But moments like this are exactly when everyday people step up.

March for Australia 3: A poisoned well
You'd think Marching for #Australia would be very popular on the National Day of #Racism, 26 January. But it was not. Here, I have taken the time to consider why. --- the old video you can't see in Australia unless you pop a free VPN on first: https://youtube.com/watch?v=eq9Qlr9Q62Mvia @tomtanuki #tomtanuki

When Christine's grandson told her that a multi-million dollar plan to build a gaudy, massive Trump Tower on the Gold Coast had just been proposed, she didn't waste a minute.
Christine launched a campaign to stop Trump Tower being built on the Gold Coast – and the response is already building.

If you are a #drug user and you are based in #Australia I highly recommend purchasing a reagent drug test kit for health and safety from this website, sometimes you never know what you might be purchasing off of someone and this should confirm all of your questions.
