Antony Green.

Analyst Antony Green points out, in the comments section of the Tasmanian Times website (fourth post), that the ABC will be covering the election from Hobart- and it “thinks it has found enough tin cans and string to cover both [the Tas and SA] elections adequately.”

(Hopefully such coverage will not be enough to end Elise Archer's skirmish with the ABC.)

See Green's well-written and detailed site, thanks to the Tasmanian Times.

Commenter Greg Barns (I can’t confirm he is the well-known journo) points out that the O'Connor interview was actually a poorly hidden 'advertorial' (again, fourth post).

Weekbyweek takes issue with the skanky Denison Green candidate.

I can certainly say that I am upset at the prospect of having Dodo O’Connor representing me as a MHA for Denison.

Also see this. What Professor Richard Herr (from the University of Tasmania’s School of Government) called an empty threat, may be a very real possibility.

Should Gunns move offshore in the event of a hung-Parliament, or- shudder- Green Government, Tasmanian timber workers and contractors will be mightily pissed off, and Tasmanian’s will have only themselves to blame- the real owners of Gunns have every right to make such a move.

Of course, socialist-utopian visionaries like the Greens’ will fix the problem by returning ‘the factories to the workers’, so to speak. Or- more likely- the Commonwealth will take care of the unemployed at the expense of mainland tax-payers.
