- Tasmanians have been asked to vote or have been given the opportunity to indicate an opinion on State matters only three times since statehood: in 1916 on the question of hotel closing hours; in 1968 on the question of the issue of a casino licence for Wrest Point Hotel in Hobart; and in 1981 on the question of dam construction and future power options for the State.

Who is going to:
(a) Comment on the "small"? It's small by Greenland standards but ginormous compared to most islands. No.13 in the world I think.
(b) Say something about poor old Abel Tasman being supplanted by the French?
(c) Query Governor B. Newton? (Bert, I assume.)
(d) Comment on the phantom 1835 gold rush?
(e) Change the year of Federation?
Come on! Kids will be reading this article. At present the only things about Tasmania likely to be in any American’s consciousness are the Port Arthur massacre, and Tassie Devil. AlanE
