An inquiry examining the arrangement between Tasmania's government and the AFL to build a $750 million football stadium in Hobart is told deals like this are often 'exchanged verbally', with documentation to come 'near the end of the process'.
"Right now, Jeremy Rockliff has a lot of explaining to do as to why his government has signed up to the dud deal to deliver a stadium to get an AFL team when we deserve an AFL team in our own right."
Tasmanian Greens Leader Cassy O'Connor repeated her call that Tasmania "can't afford and doesn't need a new stadium". "Jeremy Rockliff looked me in the eye, in April, and then again in May, last year, and said, 'Don't worry Cass, the stadium is not part of the bid'. Ms O'Connor said the new stadium was "cooked up between Gill McLachlan and Peter Gutwein, then Jeremy Rockliff, in secret".
