What top social issues do you think Tasmanians are recognising as needing immediate attention in the current economy? 3P Advisory’s quarterly cost of living report is now available. To see the latest results, head here: sway.office.com/CISGVKculX9DBs… #costofliving #politas
Does this statistic surprise you? Findings from 3P Advisory’s upcoming cost of living report demonstrate how much Tasmanians are under financial hardship. 3P Advisory’s Tasmanian quarterly cost of living report will be publicly released Friday. #politas #costofliving
In these strange political times, what is your expectation on the governments you elect? Politics, policy, reform, accountability, transparency. Read my current thoughts here: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur… #politas
Every year my husband gets stressed about what to buy me for my birthday. He just begged me to give him a hint, I refuse. He’s now contemplating setting up a gift buying business for husbands/partners called Clear & Present Danger. Clever & I think it would do well!
Great to be hearing from @MicaelaCronin - Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Commissioner at the Safe, Equal, Respected conference in Launceston.“It’s not just women’s business to respond to family violence, it’s everyone’s business” thanks WomensLegalTas

73% of Tasmanians concerned about interest rates in March todays increase & more moving off fixed rates & daily living costs increases it's hard to see where relief will come from. Want to know more - see 3P community sentiment data here: 3p.engagementhub.com.au/page/cost-of-l… #politas #col
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…. Ken Henry on risk of interest rate rise if Jobseeker is increased “we shouldn’t let fear that doing so might cost the rest of us something; that it is preferable that these people be left behind. Surely, as a society, we are better than that” #politas
“I trust you to fix potholes and climate change.”great quote from Janelle Saffin NSW Labor member for Lismore talking about the sentiment in her electorate. Big message is trust no matter what the issue #politas #nswelection #trust
Welcome back @TedLasso it’s been too long between Seasons I’ve missed you
With the Reserve Bank considering another interest rate rise today, 3P Advisory community sentiment survey shows over half of Tasmanians now moderately-to-extremely concerned, up from just over a third in July 2022 #politas #interestrates #costofliving
“When we averaged out your deeds in meeting fellow-humans’ needs”…..you blew it…. #politas
Just realised I’m staring mindlessly at the tv watching “dogs behaving badly” when I don’t actually own a dog? Big work day? Yes.

Mr Taha was facing deportation next month.
Just saw two young children on the news with eye masks over their eyes, being guided by their father out of Bondi Junction shopping centre. That man covered their eyes so they wouldn’t see the horrors of what has just happened. That’s a bloody amazing father.

@DeanRosario @WINNews_Tas Labor’s had a solid start to the campaign, I don’t think many would have predicted its vote to go backwards.
@KymGoodes @UTAS_ it is a very strong Tasmanian trait. Can't merge schools or councils to improve outcomes, can't move uni services to improve access, can't do much because it might be unpopular to a small segment of society...
