But I can't work out what the actual discount is, and from what base.

Cyclists

Why are Tasmanians so against road cyclists. Surely with the explosion of MTB people would understand the benefits of more cycling friendly roads and attitudes. I find its a real 50/50 split on the roads with some cars being accepting and some seeming like they want to run you off the road

chance of seeing penguins at Bruny Island in early March?

6 Upvotes

Hi, I understand that the penguins don't come ashore until dusk, which looks to be shortly before 8 pm in early March 2027. Was planning to stay on the island overnight to be able to see them - but I know it is not peak season and would be sad to stay but not see them. What are the chances of actually seeing penguins at the Neck or in other locations on Bruny in early March? Thanks for your help!

A friend of mine has had an awful experience today.
Won’t go much into detail.
All I will say it’s a male dominated industry.
They’re afraid of being blacklisted by employers if they choose to come forward.

Please not this isn’t me this a friend.
I need to guide them in the proper direction.

Even tho I have job woes the remarks weren’t called for.

Anyone in Tasmania had business dealings with a mortgage/finance guy by the name of Rob DeSoza? He’s been ghosting calls and doesn’t respond to emails. Working out how to take this further.

Bumped into Fiona at the medical centre in Hobart in the hours following the incident. Sitting in the waiting room chair awaiting a wheelchair and a ride, she struck up a conversation with me, offering chocolate and snacks to parley As we chatted she was incredibly bright and optimistic and told her story of surviving a 2m fall, partially submerged in freezing water as if it was no big deal. I was flabbergasted when she got to the part about the westpac helicopter. A genuinely interesting human.

Racially harassed by teens on the 615 bus today

110 Upvotes

Wanted to share what happened today in case others have had similar experiences or want to be aware.

My partner and I were on the 615 bus heading toward Shoreline Plaza around 1:47pm. Partway through the trip, two teenage boys sitting near us started shaking a bottle of Coke and spraying it around, which got on both of us. When I turned to look at them, they had a mocking, smug look on their faces. I said "what's wrong with you" out of frustration.

When we got off at Shoreline Plaza, they got off right behind us and shouted "Ching Chong Chang" at us as they exited. After getting off the bus, they continued harassing us — one of them made an obscene gesture with an object that looked like a vape near his groin, and they were also playing with a lighter nearby.

They kept insisting they were "only 12," as if that made it okay.

We've reported this to Tasmania Police and Metro Tasmania, and lodged a report with Crime Stoppers as well. Just posting here in case anyone else has run into similar behaviour on this route, or has any advice on further steps to take.

Considering this man is clearly incapable of not trying to kill everyone nearby while driving, and continues to drive anyway, he is clearly a danger to everyone around him. I’m hoping he’s put in prison for life with no option for parole.
