Do you understand how to vote?  Are you sure?  You can explain preferential voting?

Good!  Well done both of you.  The rest of you should watch the only-slightly-satirical latest from Juice Media on how easy it is to ensure none of your ticks and numberings will be wasted.  Which, when you think about it, is pretty important.

Whether you lean Left or Right, this video will help reduce box-ticking time and quickly get you back outside queuing at the sausage sizzle.


Tasmanian Times is participating in the Local & Independent News Association’s (LINA) national donation drive for independent newsrooms in Australia.

The campaign will run all week, from 28 April to 4 May,

As always we’re busy doing what we do: publishing community stories by and for Tasmanians for over twenty-two years.

Although we’ve come a long way, there’s lots more we’d like to do. And from what you tell us, there is much more you’d like to see us do.

During this week we’ll be revealing some of what we have planned to improve and expand Tasmanian Times.

We believe free access to information is vital in a democracy. As a result, our reporting is open access and not hidden behind a paywall. Your donation not only supports our work but supports an important public resource.

If you’re in a position to do so, please consider making a donation at our LINA appeal page. With your generous support, we can commission more in-depth reporting on political, social, environmental and community issues in Tasmania.

An independent media presence is more important than ever in Tasmania, so let’s make it a dynamic and powerful one.

Thanks again for your support.
