Denison electoral group 'declares war' on electoral commission

^{BY STAFF WRITERS}

A NEW alliance of Tasmanians has 'declared war' on the Australian Electoral Commission over plans to rename the Division of Denison - Tasmania's sole electorate in the House of Representatives.

Speaking from his Point Piper mansion in Sydney, James Jamesonson - the group's spokesperson who is also a journalist for National Review - told reporters that the rumoured plan for the Division of Denison to Division of Clark 'amounts to treachery'.

'Tasmanians are sick and tired of being lectured to by rich elites from the mainland,' Mr Jamesonson said.

'Denison has a long intertwined history with Tasmania's democracy. It has represented parts of Tasmania in Canberra since 1903, and has been the sole voice in the federal House of Representatives since 2017. If the AEC wants a war, they'll get one.'

The new group, which goes by the name of #DEFENDDENISON, produced a statement yesterday which said that such a change would 'duly test the indissolubility of this nation.'

'[Clark] is the most drab, unimaginative and insipid name ever bestowed upon our great state, or indeed any of the more mediocre states which make up this indissoluble Commonwealth' the statement continued.

Speaking on Twitter today, current Denison MP u/Griffonomics said that he had only been made aware of the proposed changes by a submission made to his office this morning.

Former Denison MP u/dyljam, who now serves as Senator for Northern Australia and Health Minister in the NGSpy Government, said he was 'disappointed' by the proposed change.

'Denison has a very special meaning to the people of Tasmania. I feel that the good people at the AEC have not grasped this fact.'

The Australian Electoral Commission is yet to publicly release detail on the rumoured name change.
