The Launceston City Council has voted to appeal to the Tasmanian Government to change the name of the Batman Bridge.
Chairman of the Tasmanian Aboriginal Land Council and trawlwoolway man Michael Mansell told NITV he was happy with the Launceston City Council’s decision.
“Good on them,” he said.
“Well done Launceston City Council, because a local government that is as big as the Hobart City Council, or the Launceston City Council, any decision they make in this context would be very difficult for whoever forms government in May to ignore.
“You can almost feel that the change is taking place, and it’s being led by local government, and major governments are going to have to follow.”
