Maggie Perry @maggieperry.bsky.social · 23/04/2025🔴 FRANKLIN (TAS) Heading to Tassie is the seat of Franklin, in Tasmania's south, where Julie Collins has held the seat for 18 years. The Liberals are weak here - instead, the challenge comes from independent candidate Peter George. 10/26 🧵 120
Maggie Perry @maggieperry.bsky.social · 23/04/2025Peter George is running on an environmentalist and anti-salmon farming platform, which could very well make headway in a seat like this. Notably, the Greens candidate here, Owen Fitzgerald, has suspended campaigning after discovering he was ineligible. 11/26 🧵 110
Maggie Perry @maggieperry.bsky.social · 23/04/2025The problem for Peter George here is that the Liberals have opted to preference Labor ahead of him on their how-to-vote cards, which will make it much harder to chase Collins down on preferences. Chances are this will stay with Labor, but who knows! 12/26 🧵 120
