ANALYSIS: Liberal leader's AFL stadium dream kicking against the wind of public opinion
abc.net.au/news/jeremy-rockliff-hobart-afl-stadium-analysis/101792056With critics seemingly everywhere, Tasmania's Premier Jeremy Rockliff is facing one hell of a fight if he's to deliver on what has almost accidentally become his pet project — securing the island state's entry into the AFL.
Every issue would be looked at under a new microscope — each bad outcome in health, housing or education presented as being less important to the government than delivering a new sporting team.Federal Liberals Jonathan Duniam, Bridget Archer and Gavin Pearce have already called on the federal government not to fund a stadium, and spend money on other priorities.
And given a Tasmanian team won't play in the heart of the CBD until 2027, there's lots for that public anger to grow before any benefits are realised.
