Tasmania doesn't need a new stadium - shame on the AFL for forcing us into building one
‘Not sure why a minority of Tasmanians are whingeing about this once-in-a-lifetime deal to get a modern stadium.’
‘Not sure’? There is a plethora of information, online, outlining the reasons why many are against spending inordinate sums on a stadium. As for ‘minority’, I have seen a couple of polls – admittedly not large enough to be overly scientific – which show around 65% ‘against’, 20% ‘for’ and the rest undecided or indifferent.
‘drive enormous economic activity’?
The state government’s own cost/benefit analysis predicts a loss of more than $300m over 20 years of operation. See link is below.

‘Anybody who thinks otherwise is short-sighted and/or naiive or possibly just a pessimistic argumentative fool.’
This is simplistic in the extreme. Name calling is not an argument.
