doug must be a complete fool if he believes any of the above or that I favour a chairlift but then he apparently is a Tasmanian.
Recently I heard the Tasmanian senator wanting to scrap the dole because there are about 20 unfilled jobs for milkers on dairy farms in the north west of Tassie . (some 20000 unemployed in Tassie ) with logic like that then I am sure the money would be made available to fund such a dead loss project .
Years ago we bypassed the just opened chairlift up the Nut at Stanley and had someone virtually walk to the top with us to get us to go on their stupid chair lift then offering a discount to go down !!
