Tasmania’s AFL licence contract has been released, giving further detail about the Macquarie Point stadium build, the state government’s financial risk, and the rights of the AFL over the club’s future.
On Sunday, the Tasmanian government released the 134-page deal it signed with the AFL for a Tasmanian AFL and AFLW team and stadium at Hobart’s Macquarie Point.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff had promised to release the deal “as soon as possible”, following political pressure over what commitments were made to the AFL, and the resignation of two backbenchers.
