The Dave Noonan Show with Al Plath- 107.3 Triple M Hobart

On Anzac Day Yassmin Abdel-Magied tweeted 

"Lest We Forget (Manus, Nauru, Syria, Palestine)" and attracted widespread condemnation for her perceived lack of respect on a day that remembers the sacrifice of Australian soldiers.

While Ms Abdel-Magied apologised the ABC has been criticised for not scaking the part-time presenter.

Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie savaged the ABC and Ms Abdel-Magied this morning when she talked to Triple M's Dave & Al about the ongoing furore.

After 6 weeks in her role as Tasmanian Labor leader, Rebecca White visited Triple M's Dave Noonan Show this morning.

Rebecca talked about work-life balance, the ailing Tasmanian health sector and her love of the Cats in the AFL.

Triple M Hobart broadcast from Claremont RSL 2017 Dawn Service from the Claremont War Memorial at Windermere Foreshore Park for Anzac Day 

Ex Australian cricket captain and legend Stev Waugh has been in Tasmania organising his 2017 Captain's Ride, a major fundraiser for the Steve Waugh Foundation.

Steve explained how his charity supports children with rare genetic conditions who slip through the cracks of other support and research programmes.

He also chatted about his love of the island state and why he selected us for this year's ride.

Dave discovered recently that one of our listeners has a very famous name and an even better story relating to his movie title name. Take a listen to parts 1 and 2, a very big coincidence ensues. We love the comedy gods almost as much as we love our listeners!! :)

After Dave & Al talked to Lord Mayor Sue Hickey this morning about controversial performance artist Hermann Nitsch coming to Hobart for Dark Mofo we were flooded with calls about whether he should be banned from the event.

There has been outrage from animal rights activists about a performance artist coming to Dark Mofo this year.

Hermann Nitsch's work will involve an animal carcass, nudity and blood and is a paid over 18 event.

Hobart Lord Mayor Sue Hickey was outspoken on the show this morning about Nitsch's appearance in Hobart.

Dave is fascinated that people would ever consider going on national TV, aka 'Seven Year Switch' to air their relationship woes. 

Tassie's mid-winter festival Dark Mofo, run by Mona, launched ticket sales yesterday and the response was amazing. Dark Mofo Artistic Director Leigh Carmichael was extremely excited when he chatted to Dave & Al this morning. He talked about sales, the acts, Dark PArk, the Winter Feast and the infamous Nude Swim!

AFL Tasmania CEO Rob Auld told Dave & AL this morning that Tassie could have a team playing in the AFL WOmen's Competition by 2019. Rob looked at the scenarios that are likely for thsi to happen and also touched on the complex issue of a Tasmanian men's side in the AFL.
