    Epsode 28: Defend the Island - Christmas, Conversion and the Devils’ Captain
    Oct 31 2026
    The Tasmania Devils have their first scandal, and Brad says they handled it badly. Stansfield and AJ dig into the club dropping captain Robbie Fox while keeping him on staff. Plus: the anti-conversion bill passes the lower house and shows where the Liberal party room splits, the Christmas row that won’t go away, and Scott Roth’s new $95,000 job as biosecurity ambassador. Poll Position is brought to you by EMRS – when accuracy matters. With thanks to our media partner Pulse Tasmania.

  • Episode 27: Wooley wins - Council election wrap

    Episode 27: Wooley wins - Council election wrap
    Oct 29 2026
    Campaigns matter, and this week’s council results proved it. Charles Wooley went from a late entry to Lord Mayor of Hobart. Matthew Garwood talked over the mainstream media and won Launceston in a landslide. First-time candidate Will Perry campaigned early and hard and topped the poll in Kingborough. Even old-fashioned sign waving made a difference. Stansfield and AJ go through the winners and losers across the state: Brendan Blomeley in Clarence in trouble, Sue Hickey back in Glenorchy, a blue wave on the north-west coast, and a red tinge in the south. They also check how their pre-election predictions held up. (Spoiler: pretty well.) Disclosure: Brad worked on Charles Wooley’s campaign.

    Episode 26: Eric Abetz
    Oct 23 2026
    Eric Abetz: 50 years in politics, and he’s not done yet. People either love him or hate him, and his voice has been impersonated more than Elvis’s. Tasmanian Treasurer Eric Abetz joins Stansfield and AJ to talk about nearly half a century in politics: the seven Liberal leaders he served under, his 28 years in the Senate, losing his seat, and coming back in state politics. Then the hard questions: corporate welfare, the Stadium budget, One Nation, and whether he has a leadership baton in his backpack. Poll Position is brought to you by EMRS – when accuracy matters.
