Demography is destiny: Tassie plan to boost population

Ans Under a range of population initiatives, the government plans to audit and release surplus public land for early-childhood and education care services, stimulate housing supply through a $35 million program and provide short-term interest-free loans up to $1 million for medium-density units and apartments. “We want young people from interstate and indeed from right across the world, who are Tasmanian even if they don’t know it yet, to come here and help us change this place for the better, to make it even more Tasmanian.” If the tale of the past three years tells us anything, it is that Raducanu has already undergone a vast education since the most astonishing of starts.

Some of the problems have had more than a whiff of self-creation about them; others, particularly the injuries, can be traced to bad luck. But still she attracts a crowd like few others in these parts and there is considerable excitement about where this run will lead in a favourable side of the draw. If you liked this short article and you would certainly such as to receive more information pertaining to Kids on the Yard kindly visit the internet site. That was demonstrated quite brilliantly in this 75-minute annihilation of Elise Mertens to reach the third round. At times it resembled an act of bullying, such was the quality of a fallen star whose summer form is starting to hint at a sustained revival.

To go by her own words, a ‘dream came true’ in the morning, when it was confirmed she would pair with Andy Murray for the mixed doubles, before she then sprinted further away from recent nightmares in the evening. There might also be some intrigue around where the tournament situates them. It seemed to suit Raducanu that for this tie she was given a minor demotion to Court No 1, later described by the Brit as her ‘favourite court’, having not received an assignment away from Centre since the fourth round of her breakout act here in 2021.

Amusingly it also saw a lower-profile Beckham in the crowd – Romeo instead of David, who was present on Monday. The son got the better deal. It would be a touch excitable to put Mertens in that bracket, so perspective is necessary, but at No 33 in the world, and top seed in the doubles here, she is no slouch. And yet this was not about the opposition so much as the 21-year-old woman ranked 135th who charged through her.

‘I think some things are a once-in-a-lifetime memory,’ Raducanu said. ‘At the end of my life, when I’m like 70, I know I’m going to have that memory of playing Wimbledon with Andy Murray. It was an honour to be asked. In losing only three games to the Belgian, this was Raducanu’s most one-sided win since that fairytale of New York in 2021, and was close in performance levels to her victory over the world No 5, Jessica Pegula, at Eastbourne a week earlier.
