Could AFL in Tasmania possibly be more Tasmanian?
Parochialism, pork barreling, cargo cult accounting, and now, just when the state government can’t scrape up the money to invest in the North Melbourne deal which is apparently going to inject a hundred gazintybajillion dollars into Hobart’s economy (give or take – this is Tascounting we’re talking about after all) up pops TT-Line, which, if you do your absolute best to ignore the fact that it is owned by the, er, government, leaves the Tassie Hawks as a pack of layabout bludgers sucking off the public teat.
Typical northerners.
Too good, though you really have to be a local to appreciate it.
