The leaders of both major Tasmanian political parties remain staunchly committed to a new Hobart stadium, and AFL team, even if it costs them a shot at governing the state. Both Labor leader Dean Winter, and Liberal Premier Jeremy Rockliff have re-affirmed their support for the Macquarie Point stadium and Tasmania Devils AFL club, in the midst of political upheaval triggered by a successful no-confidence motion in the premier by Labor.

As political turmoil continues to engulf Tasmania, the Devils AFL team remains at high risk of becoming collateral damage. But depending on who you speak to, the level of danger for Tasmania's fledgling AFL club varies. On one side, there is a view that the no-confidence motion moved against Liberal Premier Jeremy Rockliff has no material effect on Tasmania's plans to build the Macquarie Point stadium and, thus, enter the AFL.

Tasmania's AFL licence hangs by the barest of threads, following a day of mass upheaval in the state parliament. A no-confidence motion against Premier Jeremy Rockliff, moved by the Labor opposition and supported by a majority of the house, was being debated into Wednesday evening. The outcome is likely to result in the ousting of Mr Rockliff as premier, potentially sending Tasmanians back to the polls, a little over a year since the last election.

The Tasmanian government has released its 2025-26 state budget, which paints a picture of a challenging economic environment. New investments for this year's budget and over the next four years include more than $1 billion for health services, including to support "demand pressures" and improve elective surgery wait times. Schools will receive additional funding, largely because of a funding agreement signed with the federal government.

Would Tas Labor leader Dean Winter ditch the Mac Point stadium and Devils, in exchange for governing? "I think getting an AFL team will be the biggest thing since MONA. It'll be absolutely incredible for our state" "And I'm not giving it up for anything" @abcsport
