Rundle, just when I start to think you’ve finally boiled your brain in bong water, you roll out a semi-logical piece of political genius. Couldn’t agree more with your program: housing and health.

Thank you for your summary. From my understanding the fury is over privatisation. We have an appalling lack of public transport and what we have is badly managed and poorly distributed. To privatize even that?? Plus lack of doctors and don't believe the emergency care clinics work. Still out of pocket even for children to see a doctor, Our private hospitals have closed and not been replaced. Lack of maternity, mental health. Our University is being run down and ruined. Year 11 and 12 education challenging. But we have so much potential that is not being used.

Tasmania is one of the most desirable places in the world to be living if you believe climate change is happening. We have hydroelectric power available for industry. We have a catamaran boat builder of world class. We have the most amazing creative types working in rural tin sheds - tiny houses, coffee roasting, electric bikes - what ever the mind can create. And beautiful fresh air and fabulous food.

But we need a structure to support it.

Yep, fair point to add the privatisation stuff. Squeezed it into a general thing about housing and health. Labor didn't play up privatisation big in the no confidence pitch, because one suspects, they wouldn't stop it.

Clear solution...round them all up,stick them on boats and dump them in the suburbs of Melbourne and Adelaide....Tasmania has zero reason to exist....
