Organisers say 7,000 people attended the rally at Hobart’s Parliament Lawns, a claim which was dismissed by the government.
In short:
Those opposed to the construction of a stadium at Macquarie Point have rallied in front of Parliament House in Hobart.
It is the latest rally in a series of actions designed to demonstrate the level of opposition to the billion-dollar project, with a rally in support of the stadium planned for Sunday, November 30, at the same location.
What’s next?
With the stadium project having been approved by Tasmania’s lower house of parliament, the deciding vote comes before the upper house on December 3 and 4.
