Same old winners

THE proposal for Rosny Hill is another case of more public spaces given over to private developers. The proponent and the council would do the state a bigger favour if they came up with a new housing development that might benefit a lot more people as well as ratepayers.

No surprise

THERE is one certainty in politics, that there are no certainties. The howls of derision from Eric Abetz’s acolytes regarding Sue Hickey’s elevation to the position of Speaker demonstrates how out of touch they are with realpolitik. Bugger convention. Sue Hickey had every right to accept the nomination. She made it clear she had no truck with the extreme Right of the Liberal Party, well before she was preselected.

True colours

WHAT a sneaky piece of work by Rebecca White and her partners, the Greens, to back Sue Hickey as Speaker. She has shown her true colours to the people of Tasmania by trying to derail the Hodgman Government and its recordbreaking economy. Tasmania’s future is now in Hickey’s hands. She must stand down and put Tasmania first.

Wrecker

IF Australia’s Daniel Ricciardo has any more nose-to-tail contacts with fellow Grand Prix drivers he may well acquire the unenviable nickname of Danny Wreckiardo.

Willy World

LOOKING into my crystal ball, I see an end to the housing crisis. In fact, an abundance of rental properties. However, a new crisis will emerge. The Government endorsement of development in our special places will lead visitors to shun Willy World and a crisis ensues in the tourism sector.
