In short:
The Premier Jeremy Rockliff has responded to a report that found costs of the proposed Hobart stadium have been underestimated and the timeline is unrealistic.
Mr Rockliff says meeting the deadlines imposed by the AFL will be “a challenge” but that he would have discussions with the AFL if needed.
What’s next?
The stadium is currently being assessed by the Tasmanian Planning Commission as a potential “project of state significance” but would return to Parliament for a final vote.
www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01... These embarrassing concessions by the Premier tell us what we already know: this government cannot handle a project this big. Especially one in the wrong place, which has no social licence, and which will bankrupt the state. #nonewstadium
