In the wake of last week’s Tasmanian election that delivered another hung parliament, the new government will need to shore up crossbench support. One of the issues to be negotiated will be support for the new stadium due to be constructed next to Hobart’s historic docks. It won’t be an easy task given the bulk of likely crossbenchers are strongly opposed.
Whatever the political wrangling, it’s important this takes place in the light of the actual economics of the proposed stadium.
Building the 23,000 seat stadium is a condition of the state’s licence for an AFL team.
