I totally agree, there are just not enough Gov MPs in Tassie. You could quite easily keep Bass and Braddon almost as is, cut Lyons in two and add voters to Lyons and Lyons 2 from the outskirts of Bass, Braddon and Franklin. 6 electorates, 5 with 6 MPs and the designated largest one (like Molongolo in Canberra) with 7. It would make sense to make that Denison and not leak it's voters through to Franklin, making it larger, but the majors would never let that happen. Good article.

He would like to 'come' all over her. Perhaps poor Sam in his shock didn't listen to the doctors. Poor Sam can't 'come' over anybody anymore. That's the down side to prostate removal. But how is it he is such a fool to bring his, um, private inadequacies into the spotlight? I was surprised to hear the comment made by Sam Newman regarding Ms Wriedt.
