Under Greens’ questioning in Parliament today, the Premier ruled out either raising taxes or cutting public services to pay for the stadium’s significant annual debt.
The Tasmanian Planning Commission has been crystal clear. Any economic benefits of the stadium are far and away outweighed by the disbenefits.

Another day, another stadium spending blowout for the Liberals.
