The Stadium stacks up. We will not be deterred from creating jobs, prosperity and opportunity for Tasmania. Especially young Tasmanians that want a future in our beautiful state. The Stadium and the entire Mac Point urban renewal project will be a game changer for our state, creating jobs, boosting our economy, and offering a world class precinct for generations to come. It will also deliver what is rightfully ours - our very own AFL and AFLW team. We will never let our young people down, who want to dream big! Play on! 💪💪
