In short:
Tasmania has a reputation as a refuge from the impacts of climate change, due to its sprawling wilderness areas and cool climate.
Couples like Anna Graham and Jack Taylor have moved to the state to escape the extreme heat and humidity of Queensland.
What’s next?
The National Climate Risk Assessment has forecast key climate hazards for the state, including worsening heatwaves, drought and flooding.
Nah it’ll be fine, our premier is going to push past commonsense and planning advice to get Hobart an eye sore white elephant stadium. That’ll be a valuable asset to house all the displaced people moving down here.
Honestly if we can’t build houses to match the current trickle of people moving here how do they think we will go when it becomes a flood, plus the government takes decades to do any infrastructure work so even if we throw up some housing you better not want a road capable of handling the traffic flowing to it.
