In short:
A failed bidder for Hobart’s stadium is set to receive a multimillion-dollar reimbursement from the Tasmanian government.
That is despite tender documents stating unsuccessful bidders could be reimbursed up to $250,000.
Independent MP Kristie Johnston has questioned whether the figure was raised to “induce” a second company into the tender process.
A staggering amount of money, for nothing. How many paramedics could this employ?The stadium planning, tendering, assessment and procurement process has been a shameful failure of administration from the day “Red Cent” Rockliff signed the AFL agreement, in secret, in 2023. #nonewstadium #politas
