is this the end?

FontCast's whiteboard of truth has been proven correct, yet again, with the Legislative Council voting 9 to 5 in favour of the Macquarie Point stadium. After a divisive and sometimes emotional debate over the past three years, the deal is done but will the Stadium bring the economic nirvana our state has been promised and was it worth it politically for Premier Jeremy Rockliff, and the Liberal Party?

Join Font PR Partners Becher Townshend and Brad Stansfield along with Alex Johnston as they analyse the top Tasmanian Political Stories.

They also delve into Federal politics and look at what Labor’s done (or hasn’t done?) with the native forest industry.

And, the Liberal Party suffered their worst Parliamentary defeat of the term when Minister Nick Duigan was censured by the Parliament 19 votes to 14 for what's been dubbed “Stupid-gate.”
