Prime Minister Anthony Albanese pledges $240 million for Hobart stadium at Macquarie Point

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has officially announced the federal government will contribute $240 million for a stadium on the Hobart waterfront at Macquarie Point.

The Macquarie Point stadium announcement comes a day after the PM joined Premier Jeremy Rockliff to say the federal government would tip in $65 million to upgrades at Launceston's York Park.

The Tasmanian government has committed $375 million to the $715 million project, with $15 million from the AFL and $85 million in "borrowings against land sale or lease for commercial uses".
