The recent AI hack is not a wake-up call, it's a call to arms. Gov’s & regulators need to move much faster if we have any hope of putting guardrails around this rapidly evolving technology. And the corporations responsible for creating it need to be held accountable. #auspol #politas

Science, the arts and libraries facing forced job losses. One doesn't need to be smart to kick a football, I guess. Change the rego plates to "Tasmania, the dumb state." #politas

Yes, but we’ll have a stadium! #nonewstadium #politas

Exactly. They don’t care. And it’s not good enough. #auspol #politas

What Tasmanian public service jobs cuts mean:
*longer waits for surgery
*delays in court proceedings
*extra support for students harder to obtain
*extended waits for land title changes
*risks to border biosecurity
*opening hours cut
*libraries at risk of closing
Thanks Tasmanian Liberals #politas

Oh god, Jason Dale, I seem to recall him hanging around in the public gallery for the HOA one time when I was there - bragging about how well he knew a certain liberal member - who I happened to be texting at the time - they had no idea who he was 😂😂.

Slimey little turd.

So Tasmanian Premier and Treasurer kept telling public servants there will be no forced redundancies.
Today we find out hundreds of workers will be axed and services cut.
The Tasmanian Liberals lied to their workers and the Tasmanian community #politas #auspol

WTF. This is terrible. What the hell are we doing!? #auspol #politas

There's nothing clean, green, or environmentally sustainable about battery farmed salmon in Tasmania. #toxic #auspol #politas

Tasmanian Treasurer says we have to “live within our means”, as he continues to cut services to afford his Premier’s stadium that we cannot possibly afford. Time for unions and ALP to join the dots. #nonewstadium #politas

#OnThisDay 22 September 1935 Sir Neil Elliott Lewis died in Hobart, Tasmania. He served as the 19th Premier of Tasmania from 1899 to 1903 as leader of the Free Trade Party, and in 1909, and from 1909 to 1912, as leader of the Liberal League. #OTD #history #politas #taspol #auspol #taspolitics

The gaslighting towards gun violence survivors from the Tasmanian Premier is off the charts.
Still refusing to meet Port Arthur survivors.
The guy has given up.

Per TEC comms, #politas #lgtas candidate statements will be published on their website by the end of next week, in HTML form rather than PDFs. (That means just webpages, which is probably the better choice for accessibility anyway!)

#politas #lgtas

Huon are inviting the public to go see the pens for themselves, so who’s going to take them up on their offer to see the explosives? #politas

This is a spectacular headlining stuffup by The Mercury, just incredibly dumb misrepresentation of an article's content. #politas #lgtas #ausmedia

(HT @darmurp.bsky.social )

I am working on my Hobart candidate guide and hope to release it tomorrow, unsure whether before or after nominations drop. #politas #lgtas

Per TEC Media Release
1) Total nominations across the state are 430. That is down 75 from the 505 candidates we had in 2022
2) nominations for Mayor + Deputy Mayor is 258 which is up 25 form the 233 we had last time*
3) King Island and Tasman councils did not have sufficient
