Believe that's been done on more than one occasion, and not just in countries where more than one wife is legal.I'd rank it about as unusual as running two sets of wives and kids concurrently, that are oblivious to each other.

Yep, I was there, bought 2 National Pies @ 1/2 time & put em in my pockets as hand warmersCol
coldest night ever at footy was at Bellerive… the debacle v North 2016

Opening round 2028 in Hobart
Actually, if they're smart and can find the grounds, maybe they should have Gather (puke) Round in Hobart and Launceston the year before Tassie enter the AFL.

Imagine the novelty: six games simultaneously starting at 2pm Saturday.'normal week of footy' round.
At traditional home grounds.Imagine the novelty: six games simultaneously starting at 2pm Saturday.

Was there a result? Didn't pay much attention but some of the in depth analysis waffle I accidentally heard was that there'd be a hanging parliament in a few weeks when they managed to sort out who got what.Those closer to it..
What does yesterday's election result mean for the new stadium proposal?
Hope not.Hmm, 120,000 members. I know it is a cheap membership and they are just fund raising really, but time to re-think the stadium and get a capacity of 50,000.

Hung parliament always on the cards with the expanded lower house and proportional rep in the lower house.
Libs lost 12% of their primary vote but still the highest vote, with 36% I think. Labor got 1% of the votes the Libs lost, so on 29% of the vote. That's pretty remarkable, both majors put together have less than 60% of the vote.
Looking like a Lib minority government, no idea how that will work, they are going to be a fair way short of a majority so it will be interesting.
The AFL won't back down on their insistence on the stadium, so there is going to be some conflict. Also, some of the independents may support the stadium, even some of the Lambie candidates, so we'll have to see.

Agree. The Libs only hope of governing is with JLN support. The two independents are more ALP aligned (one previously formally and one more ideologically) so likely won’t support the Libs. And the Greens and Libs hate each other.Labor has conceded defeat saying they won’t negotiate to try to form a minority government.
At first, I was scratching my head because I thought they were a legitimate chance of forming government. But the state of play looks like a dogs breakfast ATM. Who will the Liberals convince to support them in a minority government?
I now wonder if Rebecca White is using this as a strategy? If the cross bench can’t guarantee supply, there will have to be another election… and Labor would stand a better chance of winning when Tasmanian voters realise the new government can’t work together.
Standing right in the middle of this is the footy stadium. Its still very hard to see the greens, Lambie and independents working with the Liberals unless they backtrack on the stadium. Interesting times.

I actually worked at a polling station for the TEC. So have a bit of insight as to how my electorate looked with preferences (apparently a pretty bellwether booth too, for the electorate).Going by this, there are 4 seats undecided. So unless the Libs win 3 of the 4 undecided seats (and assuming you're right about the independents), then the Libs will need the greens.

Plus been reading a bit of analysis from the UTAS pollster and Antony Green at ABC
I reckon the most likely outcome is:
Lib 15
ALP 10
Grn 5
JLN 3
Ind 2
That said there are two seats that could go down to the wire as a contest between 2-4 candidates of different colours, so some unpredictability there.
Nope. Fair to say, demographically the NW Coast branches of Libs are ideologically more Nationals. As are those in the largely rural seat of Lyons and in the northeast rural region surrounding Launceston.dont you have Nationals down there?
