Richard Atkinson
Environmentally concerned, socially conscious, relationship anarchic, bleeding-heart lefty.
- Lots of numbers but only a tiny mention of climate change at the end of the article and, even then, no mention of what might be causing it. Fiddling while Rome burns.
- A group of caring, empathetic and kind people who spend their time and energy helping others - oh, and someone who wants to go into space. And who did we give the prize to... I feel so disconnected from this circus.
- But of course, we can't upset the pokie barons.
- Data vs the bike-haters

- Reposted by Richard AtkinsonThe point is that, while criminal proceedings are on foot, a royal commission can't look at anything to do with the Bondi shootings or the shooters, including why and how they did it, that is it can't touch on the subject that is its sole reason for being established. It will achieve nothing.

- So that our young people have something to keep them in Tasmania and get them off the couch and active, the Kingston Mountain Bike Track is closing for two years while they build a high performance centre for AFL players. 🤷♂️

- The irony of Abetz trusting experts when it suits him. Treasurer Eric Abetz: "The figures that we have are on the very best of professional advice from quantity surveyors, and we do not at this stage see any blowout," he said.

- I realise that those who should read this are highly unlikely to, but I'll post it anyway.
- It's funny/sad that, according to some, there's nothing at all that attracts young people to stay in Tasmania and that a stadium will change all that. Perhaps this would be something to ask the Premier about.
- In further nonsense, the made-up figures for transport to the proposed Macquarie Point Stadium say that 3% of patrons, 735 people, will arrive by bike. I wonder where the bike parking is planned to be? 🚲 🤷♂️
- That's all very well, but why not put a picture of a left wing politician for the story?
- I've heard that Musk can't tell a joke. Maybe this all fits together and there still is a little hope for humanity, maybe.
- Why does the Tasmanian government work against the best interest of Tasmanian - over and over and over?

- 'When he signed that contract in May 2023, the Premier effectively committed the state to a blank cheque addressed to “whatever it takes”.'
- 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'

- 'In Tasmania, such battles tend to end in the mud and sometimes in jail – but they usually end the same way. The Franklin River, the pulp mills, the stadium: the people win, and the empire retreats in shame.'
- Yawn. ALP manages to call the cross bench 'protest parties' 4 times in one media release. The rest of the time they're talking about the Liberal-Green Government. Do they realise they could be in government if they stopped behaving like children? If only they'd they'd learn to collaborate.

- This would be funny if it wasn't so serious. The feral government grants money to Tasmania for urban renewal, transport and wharfs and the state wants the spend it on a white elephant stadium. www.pm.gov.au/media/macqua...
- This should be front page news and cause outraged laughter whenever the figures are quoted by the government. tasmaniantimes.com/2025/10/perr...
