Description - Griffith Review 39: Tasmania: The Tipping Point by Natasha Cica

Tasmania, the smallest of Australia's states, has long been on the edge of national conversationsabout prosperity, equality and identity. In Tasmania- The Tipping Point? Griffith REVIEW servesup strategic slices of Tasmania's past, present and future, prepared by many of the state's bestwriters.
Thinkers and doers from Tasmania and beyond, including members of its diaspora, examinewhether the island state has reached a 'tipping point'.
Geographic isolation, a distinctive natural environment and small social scale are increasinglyseen as blessings, presenting remarkable opportunities. The arrival of DavidWalsh's block-busting Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart has inspired confidence inchampioning Tasmania as a cultural, economic, environmental and social test bed - despite someentrenched local resistance.
Tasmania- The Tipping Point? challenges how Tasmania is seen by outsiders - and illuminates how Tasmanians see themselves, down home and in the world.
Published with the support of the University of Tasmania.
