After spending a billion dollars on the new ships, and despite having seven years to prepare for their arrival in Tasmania, Premier Rockliff is considering sending them to Singapore while his berth mess is dealt with.

Once again, this is move about hiding the embarrassment and shame of the biggest infrastructure stuff up in Tasmania’s history.

Jeremy Rockliff doesn’t want to deal with the shame of the Spirits sitting in Tasmania.

He would rather have the Spirits stored 6,500 kilometres away to avoid the daily embarrassment of being responsible for the biggest infrastructure stuff up in Tamanian history.

How much will it cost Tasmanian taxpayers to store the new Spirits in Singapore for an undefined period of time while berthing infrastructure in Devonport is under construction?
