This has not aged well. #politas

UTAS only exists because it was enacted under Legislation, so should be accountable to Parliament and Tasmanians. Time to end the rorts, the million$ salaries, the unethical treatment of academics, staff and students and reclaim education. #politas johnmenadue.com/james-gut

When will employers learn? First it was pizza parties instead of overtime, now it’s chocolate and coffee instead of proper staffing and wages 🤦‍♂️ #politas

Phoebe gets it #politas

Let’s get Hydro working for Tasmanians again. Cracking read in today’s Mercury on why Marinus will benefit the mainland at the expense of new Tassie jobs and industry #politas

#Tasmania's govt-owned electricity transmission company has a $1 million public relations campaign to push the Marinus project. Bob Burton uncovers a stealthy plan to plug into political lobbyists with influential connections. Read at bit.ly/3Suv2yL 👇 #TasInq #politas

Why would a State-owned Tasmanian Government Business, TasNetworks, need to spend over $1 million contracting out a PR campaign - if what they’re selling isn’t a lemon. IF Marinus was so good for Tasmania (which it isn’t), it would sell itself #politas 🍋

The UTAS move debate should be about what is best for tertiary education and the CBD. Any other discourse and framing in the debate is the tried and tested method of changing the narrative, which only supports the UTAS move #politas

Great to see Marinus on hold, but it has to be scrapped. Instead, our Hydro power should be used to entice industry to Tasmania. There’s more direct ongoing jobs by going back to Eric Reece’s vision, than exporting our public energy to the mainland #politas

Shadow Transport Minister Josh Willie heard directly from Metro Tasmania mechanics and apprentices about the impacts of the recruitment and retention crisis at Metro workshops, as well as apprentice rate cuts. Time for this Government to fix our public service #politas

While the State Government is concerned about saving its own skin, Metro Mechanics continue to strike to fund, fix and save ALL of Metro. By the amount of horns honking in support last week and today, the public agree! Industry pay rates to ensure a stable workforce #politas

Please sign the Metro mechanics petition to Fund, Fix and Save Metro Metro Tasmania #politas megaphone.org.au/p/fixmetro

So Metro Tasmania finally admitted this month they had $180,000 to spend on a contracted strike-breaking workforce - instead of ensuring wage rates were enough to fill the one-third of vacant mechanic positions. Isn’t it time the Premier and Minister fixed Metro? #politas

Fantastic day at the Royal Hobart Show with Metro Tasmania mechanics, speaking with the community as they signed our petition while we checked out all the Show has to offer #politas You can sign the petition to Fund, Fix and Save Metro here too 👇 megaphone.org.au/p/fixmetro

Mechanics from Metro Tasmania took to the streets of Hobart yesterday on strike. The horror stories we heard from people impacted by our dysfunctional public transport made us even more determined to ensure the State Government and Metro ‘Fund, Fix and Save Metro’ #politas

Apprentice mechanics contracted by Metro performed work on buses unsupervised. Metro used them due to their workers taking industrial action for fair pay, the work was initially not checked by any qualified tradesperson,it could have compromised public safety #dangerous #politas

On Ferguson and Rockliff’s watch: Metro maintenance managerial salaries rise by $128,000, 134% Head of HR rise of $29,000, 18% in 2 yrs. External HR consultant and lawyer used. $400,000 saved by vacant mechanic jobs. Mechanics still $10 an hour below industry rate of pay #politas

Foundation membership sorted for the whole household! So glad the jumper is ‘The Map’ Tassie Proud 💚❤️💛 membership.tasmaniafc.com/?fbclid=IwAR0_…

Workers at Saputo Burnie have taken strike action today in their pursuit of parity with Saputo mainland wage rates. A 21% difference between the sites is simply corporate greed and Tasmanians say enough is enough! No longer are we the poor cousin #politas

The veil has been lifted… #politas
