Deeply angered by our high-school-prefect government gutting the things which make Tasmania special and unique, so they can bankrupt the state building a stadium for the AFL to profit. A clown show of secrecy and incompetence. #auspol #politas www.themercury.com.au/news/tasmani...

Today he compared it to his own 25yr mortgage where he ended up with a house after paying it off. Proudly asserting we will end up with the ships being paid off 5yrs before they have to be replaced. Eric fails to see the difference that a house appreciates in value and the ships will depreciate. 🙄
