Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced the government’s funding for an AFL Stadium and housing for essential health workers in Hobart – which will create “some 4,200” jobs during construction.
Mr Albanese said when Tasmania forms its own AFL team it will also produce “ongoing jobs” in tourism and hospitality.
