Announcement – Yes Team, No Stadium Group, 22 August 2023

Yes Team, No Stadium Rally Launceston

There is to be held a No Stadium Rally in Launceston on the 27th of August at 1.00pm at Launceston’s Civic Square.

It is to be hosted by the Yes Team, No Stadium Group, four fellows who are frustrated with the Rockliff Government’s deal with the AFL making the building of a $1,000,000,000 stadium contingent on gaining the 19th AFL licence.

We believe we don’t need a new stadium to get the Tasmanian team off the ground, maybe later when the team is established and can be proven viable. We believe until this fact can be established that the two stadiums we have now will be adequate to the fledgling team, albeit with some renovations and improvements.

We believe that the money to be invested in the proposed new stadium would be much better spent on much-needed government responsibilities such as health, social housing, homelessness, roads, education and other underfunded government responsibilities.

Guest speakers at the rally are as follows:

Ruth Forrest MLC

Meg Webb MLC

Rosalie Woodruff MHA

Senator Peter Whish-Wilson

Senator Jacqui Lambie

Lara Alexander MHA

and more.
