If it wasn’t already official, it is now: The proposed Macquarie Point stadium is massively on the nose among northern Tasmanians.

New EMRS polling, released on Tuesday, found an overwhelming 67 per cent of people in northern Tasmania opposed the stadium while 65 per cent of north-west coasters were not fans.

On Tuesday, about 250 stadium opponents gathered at Hobart’s City Hall to dissect the report, which they believe to be a silver bullet to the heart of the project — and if the government’s meek acceptance of the damning paper is an indicator, perhaps they are right.

 

NOTE from Our Place: With one simple question, this journalist could have learned that the Town Hall seats 300 and then added in those who were standing.
