Tasmania Remains Gateway To The Antarctic

Anthony Albanese has been in Hobart today on the back of committing $188 million of funding for Macquarie Wharf upgrades.

It’ll mean Antarctic ice-breaker the Nuyina will have a suitable berth at Macquarie Wharf Six.

Western Australia had shown interest in plundering the Gateway to the Antarctic title, but the Prime Minister’s announcement secures it for Tasmania.

“This is about jobs here in Tasmania, but it’s also about making sure that Tasmania is continues to be the centre for the Gateway for the Antarctic, as it should be.”
