SET FOR SHOWDOWN

I’D be happy to see Tasmania leading the nation in opening up, (Editorial, September 3). The only problem I can see is reaching agreement on what side of the Oatlands line the headquarte­rs of the Australian Medical Assistance Team (AUSMAT) will be permanentl­y moved to.

SCARY NEWS

PETER Gutwein says the Greens are “scaremonge­ring “in response to the Greens’ motion for our government to declare a climate emergency. Well, there’s nothing more scary, threatenin­g and frustratin­g to Tasmanians, particular­ly to younger Tasmanians, than to read that our Premier denies we are now in a climate emergency.
