With temperatures around Tasmania as low as minus 5 this weekend, it’s time for Shortswatch. Please report if it gets too cold for men to wear shorts, and what the threshold is. I am tipping minus 3, but hairiness may be a factor here

Genuine question: at what temperature do Hobart men stop wearing shorts? Zero?

Labor has the most favourable Parliament since 1993. Lower-house majority and no reliance on right-aligned party in Senate. This term is Labor’s to lose #auspol #AusVotes2022

Recycling bins across the country would be “harmonised” to have standard rules about what can and cannot be included under a push by federal environment minister Sussan Ley, who has secured agreement from state ministers to address the issue

⚠️Time for your annual reminder that it’s Tasmanian devil dispersal season! ⚠️
Young devils become independent in Dec/Jan so there are more of them around, & they can be active at odd times of day
Drive at a sensible speed & keep your eyes on the road! ⚠️😈

Do you know any Tassie drink companies that sell in refillable bottles? Juice, cider, beer? Tas Juice Press + Elgaar are all I can think of. Help me out, there must be more! #politas
Tomorrow am turning 17 years!
I'll be joined by my friends to plant 700 #Birthdaytrees.
It's my tradition to celebrate my birthdays by planting trees.
I planted 200 when I was turning 15, and 500 when I was turning 16.
Please join me in planting wherever you are.
