Telstra? GST? Senator what's his name..? Shit mind blank on the old fossil.
What was the unemployment scenario down there for 2019 @nathanm? I'm happy to wrong, a good economic situation in Tasmania is good for the rest of us too. And it helps you guys keep people like @Haakon from buying all your houses!

It's completely different lifestyle from the mainland, I looked at the equivalent job in Tassie that I do here in SA, I love the place but its basically a 50% pay cut. Better off for me to work here and head over there for 3-4 weeks each year and enjoy the good stuff.
There are some cracking houses around Launceston and Hobart but in general, the houses are cheaper and there are more rural areas that probably don't require people to look for jobs as there are none in the area.
Missus's brother just moved there a couple of years ago, bought a little place in Lilydale that needed a lot of work and has a few acres... wasn't cheap either.
You cant compare it to Victoria or NSW where they thrive (usually), mega expensive properties if you are a city slicker and I'm sure, very similar country areas that suck the GST out of the 'thriving' parts of the state.
Another noticeable thing are the vehicles, mainland cities/towns are full of expensive vehicles, AMG mercs, Ferraris, new 4WDs everywhere and every other 22yrs old tradie drives a new Ford Ranger. Obviously I only get a snapshot but the majority of vehicles are older and very few expensive vehicles with Tassie plates.
I don't know the figures nor have I looked but I reckon it would be getting harder and harder to hide on the mainland if you really didn't want to work, just happy to draw the dole and grow some plants. Probably why Tassie may have higher unemployment.
In SA, about 5-6 years back, they moved the urban sprawl boundary. The beautiful Kangaroo Island (I have been there 3 times) was a different place on my last visit. A lot of families moved there as you don't have to seek-a-job, I dont like to label but when you pull in at one of the may places of natural beauty and arseholes have used the carpark for a burnout party and discarded beer bottles everywhere, its plain see what's happened.

A house down the road was purchased by the Catholic church for "respite care". I joke with neighbours that Pell's moved in.
Anyway, I digress - the church had lots of renos done pretty much straight after buying it. That work included something or other being carried out by a tradie (fluro shirt, shorts, boots, etc) who arrived in one of these:

Bloody NSW tradies have stepped it up a notch
Only Rangers and HiLux's here in SA.

Marketed incorrectly, based on my observations they could have said wearing active wear prevents spreading the disease as no one wants to get close or be associated with the wearer.Oh noes

Sitting in the car waiting for an nasal probing. Step kids dad has the rona.
The traffic controllers have everyone reverse their car into a parking spot in a holding bay.
75% of people need three shots at reversing into a spot with a car on only one side. Is this a symptom of the rona?

If only. Unfortunately it's a symptom of kids being taught how to pass a test, rather than being taught how to operate a vehicle.

Bit of fun aren't they!
Turns out I have a blockage in my right nostril, they jammed the swab up there till I couldn't see from the tears, then gave up and tickled my brain from the left side.

You boys are so lucky
Nah that would be more goatsee. Anyone who doesn't know what that is, lucky you. Please do not google it.
I got a test today (doing the right thing with just a bit of a cough) and the nasal swipe was nowhere near as bad as I had been told it was. Maybe my nurse was kind.

St least he wasn't hosting any lemon parties
Seems to be a wide range of how far they shove the nasal stabby stick..
