The #demolition of a dilapidated 150-year-old #mansion in #Launceston, in #Tasmania's north, has prompted questions about gaps in #heritage protection.

The Victorian-era home was earmarked for heritage listing over two decades ago, but was never placed on the #StateHeritageRegister.

The loss of the property at 180 George Street has sparked anger and disappointment among locals and one heritage advocate who labelled the destruction as "scandalous". #auspol #taspol

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?)

@NickSchwanck Exactly! And… ferries, health services, education, public transport and parking to go with stadiums, refueling facilities for the flagship research vessel…..

Has the Tasmanian Liberal Government effectively planned for anything? 🤷‍♂️

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?

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
