In short:
The reaction to a report calling into question critical aspects of the proposed Macquarie Point stadium in Hobart has dominated Tasmania’s parliament the day after its release.
The scathing report slammed the project on economic, planning and social grounds. The AFL has acknowledged while there are “hurdles”, the stadium must proceed in that location and with a roof, if a Tasmania team is to be a part of the national football competition.
What’s next?
The public has until May 8 to comment on the draft report, with a final report expected in September before parliament votes on the stadium.
