Nic Street,Minister for Sport and Recreation
Desperate for headlines because he is up for re-election, Josh Willie’s rank political opportunism has done absolutely nothing to support ice sports.
I am aware that the Glenorchy Ice Skating Rink has been sold and that there are concerns from the local Ice Sports community and current users of the rink about its future.
I have met with Ice Sports Tasmania several times over the past month to discuss these concerns and to try to find a solution.
Mr Willie has done nothing to help the situation, apart from put out another pathetic media release.
The sale of the Glenorchy Ice Skating Rink was a private sale, and it would not have been appropriate for the State Government to interfere with that process.
I will remain in contact with Ice Sports Tasmania as they work to secure the future of their sports in Tasmania and assist wherever possible.
