    Not all superheroes wear tight-fitting costumes and leap tall buildings (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Not all superheroes wear tight-fitting costumes and seek truth and justice. Some wear school uniforms. Some wear hi-vis work clothes. Some stand behind a counter, some work in medical clinics, and some simply go about their ordinary day, but all of them act in extraordinary ways. Sometimes, as in the recent examples we have featured at The Examiner, heroism is nothing more complicated than deciding to help. That's super heartening. These everyday superheroes remind us that extraordinary acts of

    Is the $43 million Princess Theatre reno now heading in the right direction? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There comes a point in every major public project when numbers stop being an inconvenience and start becoming a concern. For the $43 million Princess Theatre redevelopment, that moment came when councillors were asked to consider $3.5 million for a hydraulic orchestra pit lift, a blowout from an initial $1.6 million estimate. Installing the hydraulic orchestra pit would not have been prudent financial management; it was playing poker with ratepayers' money. Deputy Mayor Hugh McKenzie rightly cal

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Tasmania has a rare window of opportunity to capture one of the biggest technological shifts since the advent of the internet. Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming everything from medicine and manufacturing to education, agriculture, and engineering. All of this requires human oversight to operate at maximum usability. AI is no longer a theoretical technology; it is actively rewriting workflows across many fields. AI is exceptionally powerful at processing data, but it lacks the critical

    The blame game: The uncomfortable truth about Tasmania's health funding stoush (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The health blame game in Tasmania has escalated, and the source of the friction is delayed hospital discharges. Tasmanian Health Minister Bridget Archer claims an average of 103 medically fit patients occupy acute public hospital beds daily while waiting for Commonwealth-funded aged care or National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) support. In response, the federal government outlines record funding levels, arguing that states have been given the resources and flexibility needed to manage thei

    Stop wasting our cash: why all governments need to think outside the box (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Reading the comments section and letters to the editor recently has hammered home something widely known but worth repeating. The voting public is tired of all three levels of government using public money like Monopoly cash. Budgets are tight, costs on public projects are blowing out, and there seems to be an unwillingness to find innovative ways to reduce debt without cutting services. Our elected representatives, at the federal, state, and local levels, have become risk-averse, with a single-
