We're all grifters on the AFL teat, We'll make sure Tas stays the poorest state in the nation. We'll suck the money out of healthcare, For a concrete abomination.

This is hilarious. The test rig is only 5 metres off the ground which proves nothing, and the roof material looks like absolute dogshit. Everything about this just reeks of incompetence. No doubt there is a series of monumental fuck-ups ahead. #politas

@TDMGnews @TDevil2028 According to Tassie Devil any news that doesn't worship Rockliff is bad. #politas

@TDevil2028 We would appreciate to hear what makes our news site bad? TDMG is always open to receiving community feedback to improve our operations

The Integrity Commission and Tasmanian Electoral Commission have received material from Tasmanian Times regarding Government–Pulse Media Group practices during the state election. #politas #tasmania #hobart #news #journalism #ACCC #pulsetasmania #pulse #politcs

The next 10 beers I have won't be an issue because luckily I'm already very drunk. #politas

@franklnclark I get it better than you.

The process was chosen by those who wanted it to succeed. When the two major parties combine to ram through legislation that clearly doesn't have majority public support, it's not a model of democracy working well. #politas

@MFarqhuar You're so close to getting it, yet still so far away. Keep trying!

@franklnclark Yep, and they have policies and if you are not moron you understand those policies, especially the major ones. The Greens and independents main campaign issue was the stadium and they lost miserably #politas

@MFarqhuar Did you know there are two major parties that traditionally hold a large portion of the seats in parliament?

@franklnclark Ok Lemmy. You are moron if you didn’t want a stadium and voted for a pro stadium candidate if you feel that strongly about it

@MFarqhuar I didn't see stadium yes/no on my ballot paper

@franklnclark You will be shocked the adults all had their say at the ballot box twice in 2 years and yet here we are.

@40yearsplus @SimonDavisTas Even MLCs voting for it acknowledged it didn't have majority public support.

@franklnclark @SimonDavisTas Looked like the vote went the way of the will of constituents

@gasugasu1984 As Bec Thomas will soon find out, a Rockliff promise doesn't mean much.

@virtualmusing Fuck yeah

@franklnclark yes, better things are possible under your enlightened refinement of democracy

@virtualmusing Better things aren't possible?

@franklnclark ok. we will govern by propositions and an appointed panel of experts. you will be on the certifying body for how we collect opinion and determine expert panel members. your enlightenment, which comes to you through reason and education, can guide us forward

@virtualmusing Touch grass, pal.

@franklnclark anyway, your misanthropic garbage is nauseating and i really hope you find the spark that allows you to love the world once more

@virtualmusing Parliamentarians voting for legislation whilst acknowledging it doesn't have majority public support, nor support from any experts is quite something. Certainly not a model of representative democracy functioning well.

@franklnclark how so? you clearly don’t care for democracy also, POSS wasn’t decided by people who wanted the project to proceed lmao

@virtualmusing Odd suggestion. I'd probably start with working towards a system where the parliament represents the views and interests of their constituents.

@franklnclark now we’re getting somewhere. what you thinking we do instead? given that you don’t believe in democracy, maybe some CEO Monarch Autocracy

@ringocandrum Elections or single issue referendums?

@SimonDavisTas Major party member thinks major party system works well. I'm shocked. Representative democracy works well when the interests of constituents are represented, not the interests of major parties and their corporate buddies. #politas

@franklnclark For someone who's been so condescending towards anyone who doesn't share your view on the stadium, you appear to have a very poor grasp of representative democracy and how it works.

@MFarqhuar You'll be shocked when you learn how many people live in Tasmania.

@franklnclark Bullshit. The majority spoke at the rallies and the ballot box. You lost, live with it. #politas

Not to mention the groundswell of corporate interests driving public policy and the relentless campaigning from the media and vested interests. #politas
