Abolish Tasmania

[Bribie G]

With a population less than that of Newcastle / Hunter but equal representation federally, Tasmania is a "rotten borough" and should be amalgamated with Victoria forthwith.


discuss.

Haha.
Not sure if you are joking or not !!
Tassie is a great little state.
A beautiful place too !


I say keep the status quo.

With more constituents than representatives, they don't actually meet the definition of 'rotten borough', however archaic English terminology isn't my strong suit. Or anything really.

With its rampant unemployment, I think Gina should lease the island and turn it into an open cut copper mine starting at the Great Lakes area and spiraling its way outward . Then everybody wins.
At least it would fit the definition of 'pocket borough'.

Good luck changing the constitution.

Might as well give NSW more seats than VIC, and VIC more than QLD, etc. following your logic.

 

[Not For Horses]

Grafton and the Northern Rivers should be merged with Queensland, then Campbell can fix the A1 north of Grafton, and pipe all the water North.

Could we leave that for a moment? Dunny-on-the-Wold Tasmania is a tuppenny- ha'penny place. Half an 16902300 acres of sodden marshland in the Suffolk Fens to the south with an empty town hall on it. Population: three rather mangy cows, a dachshund named `Colin', and a small hen in its late forties.
