Of all the questions asked by Tasmanians throughout the stadium debate, a couple stick out.
Why does a new stadium need a roof? Why does Tasmania need a stadium at all?
But perhaps the most often asked question relates to the team location.
Why can’t a Tasmanian AFL team be based in the more geographically central city of Launceston and play out of York Park?
NOTE from Our Place: On reading this, an observant supporter noted:
“What is quite extraordinary about it, is that it is basically saying that Launceston (and the north of the state) are second-class economically and socially, and the proposed “investment” will exacerbate the social and economic inequalities between Hobart and the rest of the state. It’s effectively a Liberal-Labor policy to set in concrete a two-tier society. Especially as there is no talk of any parallel investment in health, education, infrastructure in the north.”
