Minister, getting this right is a matter of life and death. The SES is concerned. How is the TPC meant to make its assessment on such paucity of information?
Treasury's Pre‑Election Financial Outlook (PEFO) has identified the significant risk to the already‑struggling budget from building a stadium.
The only transparent thing about this is the proposed roof. There is nothing transparent about the government's proposal and I thank the member for Clark for bringing this motion..
We thought it was a good initiative because the costs of this stadium have been opaque since day one, and the more transparency possible the better.
The final report of the Tasmanian Planning Commission's (TPC) Project of State Significance (POSS) process assessment is due by next Wednesday.
Tasmania’s budget is in a mess and essential services are already going underfunded.
It's obvious to all that a debt of almost $2 billion over a decade for the stadium is untenable in this budget mess. Support for the Tassie Devils teams continues to build.
The AFL CEO should front up and listen to Tasmanians.
The major party leaders will debate various issues today. But there's one massive, billion-dollar issue they won't be debating because both leaders are agree on it - a new stadium.
Tasmanians know our small state can't afford a new stadium, and they understand the money to pay for it has to come from somewhere.
