Good morning, Tasmania. Here’s your briefing in five minutes. First, the state’s legal profession is facing a retention crisis. Criminal lawyers report being run off their feet as burnout and low pay drive experienced professionals from the profession. On a brighter note, if you’re looking for adventure, an evergreen guide has been released to Tasmania’s 10 best outdoor adventures and hidden gems. For those moving to the state, there’s now a service to connect four essential utilities electricity, gas, water, and NBN internet in one simple process. Families can also save thousands with a new guide to the Child Care Subsidy and finding care across Tasmania. And for anyone thinking about a move, the Best Places to Live in Tasmania 2026 guide lists affordable suburbs from Hobart to Launceston, comparing prices and lifestyle.
