RSL Tasmania is stepping up its fight against the proposed location of the planned Macquarie Point Stadium, with its chief executive officer saying the organisation has been “disrespected and misled at every turn” over the arena’s eventual size and impact on sight lines from the Hobart cenotaph.

In a letter to Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff, John Hardy wrote to “remind you of the historic, cultural and spiritual significance of the Hobart cenotaph to the Tasmanian community, especially to returned and current service personnel and their families”.
