Mac Point Stadium! - "Tas Says Yes!"

[Jazny]

and Bribery

Can we do a go-fund-me to help sweeten the bribery pot?

25-9

25-9

Good news, wonders what the likelihood will be the upper house mostly vote the same.

 

[fargothegreat]

She will get it in the next budget this one is just a stop gap one due to no confidence/election

They've only committed to half the funding atm. I reckon if she votes yes she'll get the lot.

It all comes down to Bec Thomas and Dean Harris. If they both go for the stadium option, it’s a 9-5 vote. If only one does, it’s 8-6. But if they both say no, it ends in a tie, and that probably means the Tasmania Devils’ dreams are over.

When will we know their decisions?

The speaker should break convention and votes yes. 25-9 in the lower house, no binding reason to vote it down against your party.

 

[Hodgey 15]

One down. One to go.

It won’t come down to that deals will be done before the vote in December

Bribery

Rockcliff got support to govern from independents at the last hung election parliament buy giving certain independents extra parking spaces and bigger offices, it’s shows how trivial things can get and how easily people can be brought

 

[fargothegreat]

Bribery

That seems to be what she's pushing for. Every time she's asked about the stadium she brings up the need to fund community sport.

This is despite the AFL already committing to $360m for grassroots footy.

 

[Truetiger]

One down. One to go.

I hope those in Tasmania attend the March on Parliament Gardens on the 30th of November. Let’s bring this home.

Key MLC Bec Thomas still undecided on Macquarie Point stadium

Bec Thomas: With all my heart, I want to support this project…

I get Bec Thomas frustration. She's genuine with her support for stadium but Tas Gov really dragging their feet over giving her some answers to her questions.

Ffs just give her, her basketball funding

Nothing to stress about she will 100% vote yes

Agree.

I know nothing about her, but the legacy of a negative vote would weigh heavily in the future.

 

[Tasmanian saint]

No roof no entry to the competition? How is that not blackmail?

We applied to join there competition we were offered a license with set conditions which we accepted and agreed to, all this crap about us being blackmailed buy the afl is plain stupid

 

[Truetiger]

Wish I was as confident lol

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Yeah they could stuff all of Tassie over this

Don't be fooled by the spin. The afl could alter the entry conditions to make it work for the team to come even if the MLCs vote down the stadium. But the afl dont want to. People need to assess the situation for what it actually is not what the headlines look like.

But why should the AFL want a team in Tasmania absent a good stadium? An undeveloped Bellerive simply cannot generate the tens of millions of dollars per year needed to operate a team from its Tasmania home games - there's not enough seats in the stadium or corporate facilities to put your $1000 a season coterie style members and sponsors in.

An undeveloped Bellerive ….why not redevelop it; has a picturesque outlook…already in place, short drive from the airport…?

Why would the afl change there minds , I imagine they learned a very expensive lesson from the Gold Coast expansion not having everything prepared and rushing means its taken 10 years and a unbelievable amount of money and concessions to correct, basing the club at Bellerive on a permanent basis would be a unbelievable cluster

Have you ever been there? Theres not enough room it was looked into and it was stated they would need to Aquire 80 surrounding properties/houses to have the sufficient space to upgrade to the required size can you imagine the uproar that would cause.

Dude, this has been discussed a million times over both here and as well as in every planning element for the new stadium.

It's both hemmed in by residential areas (as in, can't physically expand the footprint of the stadium without knocking down houses) but also surrounded by residential areas, as in it's not good to get people accessing the stadium by driving there through narrow streets or without public transport options.
