Plans to build a $750 billion stadium in Hobart are in jeopardy as Tasmania's Labor leader urges the Premier to come clean on the deal he signed with the AFL, which could spark an early election.
Tasmania's Labor leader Rebecca White has urged Premier Jeremy Rockliff to release the details of the deal he signed with the AFL following a"stadium mess".
“Our position has been very clear, we don’t support a stadium, we do support a team," she told reporters. Tasmanian Labor leader Rebecca White has called out Premier Jeremy Rockliff for signing a"secret deal" with the AFL following an anti-stadium rally held over the weekend in Hobart.
The controversial precinct has sparked fierce debate among MPs and the Tasmanian community who claim funds could have been used to fix the state's housing crisis.
