Title
Tasmanian Times
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- “The newspapers of this hemisphere were long mere vehicles of government intelligence, or expressions of the views and feelings of the ruling powers. Malice or humour, in the early days, expressed itself in what were called Pipes -- a ditty, either taught by repetition or circulated on scraps of paper: the offences of official men were thus hitched into rhyme. Thus, the fear of satire checked the haughtiness of power’’. John West, History of Tasmania (1852) Responsibility for election comment on Tasmanian Times is taken by Lindsay Tuffin, 9 Phoenix St, Howrah, 7018
