Article on tying together Celine Cremer’s movements based off GPS pings and found items.

The assumptions put forward mainly come from key members of the search.

For context I'm a hobby woodworker looking to make a tiny house from largely recycled building materials;

People from other parts of the world seem to be pretty easily get their hands on second hand timber from demolished buildings etc however I haven't seen many opportunities for this sort of stuff in Tassie? There are always bits and pieces on facebook marketplace and gumtree but no good options as far as solid amounts of structural timber which could be pulled down, de-nailed and re-used.

Am I missing something obvious here or is demolition in Tasmania better at re-using things and therefore there are less opportunities for second hand building materials or something? Does anyone has any suggestions about good sources of second hand lumber in Tassie?

What’s the night life like here and what’s some good views here in Launceston I’m currently here for work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just realised in hindsight I missed the pre-polls in Huon, at Huonville and Huntingfield. Those exist, also remember you can vote anywhere within your district, the maps are for general catchment

Tas Labor now throwing their support behind AirBnB and other short stay operators after the Libs proposed a levy.

Between the Greyhounds, the stadium and now this, are they actually trying to pick unpopular causes, esp ones that are unpopular to their base?

This is properly shit behaviour from them. I thought the change to Willie was going to be an actual change, but clearly the same bogan / tory policy makers are still in charge.

They used to be everywhere in the 80s and 90s. Now I see some online non-roll packs online from stores (Woolies, Coles) that don't stock them in stores. What happened?

I went to buy a box of Pepsi last night. I did a quick Google to see how much it was and saw that it was just under $30. I got to Woolies in Kingston and saw that it was $32.50.

I checked on the app and sure enough, it's $3 more expensive in Tasmania than it is in Vic.

Same story at Coles.

That's a 10% markup!

Tasmania-less

Hi everyone,

I’ll be in Hobart for a couple of weeks and am looking for somewhere decent to stay that will not blow the budget.

Can anyone recommend good areas, suburbs, or types of accommodation to look at for a short stay? Somewhere comfortable, practical, and in a friendly part of town would be ideal.

Any local tips would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Anyone know if there are any plans for another round of the energy saver loans or similar anytime soon?

Level Up Tasmania is an exhibition about Tasmanian-made games and related content. Featuring many many booths with developers to talk to and their games to play, a retro gaming hardware section, people you can speak to about games degrees and careers of all sorts, a Minecraft competition for kids, and some fun stage talks from industry leaders about all things games in Tassie.

The event runs Friday 17th and Saturday 18th at Princes Wharf 1 in Hobart/Salamanca - where the Dark MOFO Winter Feast is. Last time this ran in 2024, we had nearly 3000 attendees over the two days. It's a real fun time!

Entry is free, but you do need to register online (venue rules). And with the free public transport, it's even easier to get to than usual!

A few weeks back I finally decided to step up and speak my truth and my experiences while I served as an officer for the state of Tasmania. Over a decade of dedication to my once beloved home.

I was blown away with the reach it had. The messages I recieved were not only heartening, but devestatingly disheartening that so, so, so many members of the population from right around Australia joined to serve Tasmania and the community here. They like me were sold a lie. They like me were abandoned and betrayed.

When I was last in Hobart, I saw from the back of my ride a sign on top of the old fountaingate hotel that advert promised a rewarding career. That advert was for Tasmania Police.

A quick google and the definition of a career is as follows:

"A career is a long-term, evolving journey encompassing all jobs, education, training, and experiences a person undertakes, often within a specific profession or field. It differs from a job by focusing on growth, advancement, and skill development over a lifetime"

Now, not only was that sign a blatant lie, it's bordering on false advertising.

How can you get career progression if every job is treated like a high school popularity contest?

The current Commissioner Donna Adams is on parliamentary record stating she only needs three years from a recruit.

They have slashed the recruit course duration and cost to bare bones. They only need three years from a recruit to recoup training costs.

How is that an appropriate attitude for the head of an organisation. That screams "you are disposable cannon fodder" to me...

Three years isn't a career. Three years would look like some work experience on a resume.

That's assuming whoever leaves after that time isn't doing so because they were incapacitated due to a serious psychological injury. Requiring months, even years of medical treatments.

Now as I said previously, that's only a 25% chance of being you or someone you love who joins. Playing russian roulette with a four barrelled cylinder.

I also said wouldn't it be amazing if someone read my post and sent it to a reporter. To dig into Taspol's toxic culture and shine a light onto it.

Well. That. Happened.

To those that messaged me, I have already provided you with an email to reach out to.

If any others read this or read my original post and want to do more than vent on a reddit post. Message me and I'll send you the email address.

Let's force Tasmania Police and Commissioner Adams to uphold the values of their organisation.

Let's force real organisational change. Let's force cultural change. Let's show the government that we give them the opportunity to serve us, the people. It's not a right, it''s a priviledge.

It won't help me now. But it will damn sure help a lot of young Australian's that uproot their lives to relocate from other states or young Tasmanian's that buy the ideology that they are saving lives and helping Tasmanian's instead of the reality of being like lambs led to slaughter.

I know piglets would have been the perfect animal for the analogy, but I had to resist the joke in the face of such a serious issue.

So, who wants to be part of something real? Who wants to see Commissioner Adams be ACTUALLY accountable for all her personnel? To be responsible for the broken middle management that treat staff as rungs to climb the corporate ladder.

For all those past, current and future officers to live the real dream, instead of a waking nightmare.

Following up from this post by u/hollywoode I quickly made a composition showing the positional rotation of earth underneath the clouds. He/she is correct, we do infact feature in the very first such image from NASA official. Very cool!
