Jeremy Rockliff's train wreck interview with Leon Compton this morning confirmed that the Premier's AFL Deal has not been approved by State Cabinet and was not sighted by the Treasurer prior to it being signed.
The Premier was asked on multiple occasions this morning whether the AFL deal had been approved by Cabinet and seen by the Treasurer prior to being signed and on multiple occasions he refused to answer.
If the answer to both questions was 'yes' the Premier would surely have said so. Instead he was his usual evasive self.
This morning we also had the RSL confirm that it will not support the stadium.
Jeremy Rockliff has signed us up to a deal where the AFL can single-handedly terminate our licence after 12 years and we're left with a billion-dollar taxpayer funded stadium sitting at Macquarie point with no footy played in it.
It's a bad deal for Tasmania and one that hasn't been approved by State Cabinet or sighted by the Treasurer prior to being signed by the Premier.
