I’ve finished up at @ExaminerOnline / @theadvocatetas and started a new gig at @themercurycomau last week. Please send whatever scoops you may have to robert.inglis@news.com.au - I am not picky! 🗞

@mathewasharp @GunnerTas The Metro figures are statewide. Unfortunate that MT doesn’t publish regular detailed breakdowns of passenger numbers

@GunnerTas I assume it only means Hobart, but without a breakdown of the figures that @rg_inglis was provided, no idea.

Well, the numbers are in. Half price fares have brought marginal increases by 4.8% in Hobart, an average of over 21,000 trips per day in July. School kids vs regular fares would be an interesting breakdown. Also, thanks for the surprise name drop. themercury.com.au/news/tasmania/…

With the two best-selling iPad apps in the world, Tassie software developer, Procreate, has had a stratospheric rise over the past decade. And now it’s plotting a move to a new Hobart HQ as part of an “ambitious” growth strategy themercury.com.au/news/tasmania/… via @themercurycomau

@tassiepatrat @susanfahey @themercurycomau I don’t have control over comment moderation, Pat, but will wear the error. No malicious intent/conspiracy here - just a poor attempt at counting heads, which has since been fixed

@susanfahey @rg_inglis @themercurycomau It's a massive miscount, and misreport. @rg_inglis' 100s stoked online comments, which remain. My comments correcting are still pending. I'm a defender of the Mock's journos. They do a good job & I subscribe cheerfully. This was poor though.

Hey @rg_inglis. Do stick by your report on the #politas #nostadium rally. That "Hundreds of people have flocked to parliament lawns"? You must be blind! No wonder @themercurycomau received such blistering critiques at the rally. themercury.com.au/news/tasmania/…
