New Labor Bass MP Jess Teesdale the morning after her victory
Don't miss out on the headlines from Tasmania. Followed categories will be added to My News. Having unseated and flipped the Northern Tasmanian seat of Bass, Jess Teesdale now faces her next challenge, being a member of parliament in the Australian government. Ms Teesdale is entering politics after teaching for 14 years — most recently at Launceston's Indie School — and says those skills will come in handy. 'Teaching is an incredible start to politics, I think teachers have to be across so many things at once and they have to take on a lot of information at a time,' she said. 'I think that's exactly what we've done throughout this whole campaign. We have been learning very, very fast, speaking to lots of people and really showing people that we care. We do genuinely care, and we are here for you.' Ms Teesdale will join the sea of red that swept the state and country, including Rebecca White, Julie Collins and Anne Urquhart. She said she was excited to work with her fellow federal colleagues. 'It's going to be incredible to work with such passionate, strong and fierce women,' Ms Teesdale said. 'I've got a lot to learn in this space, obviously, coming into it for the first time, and I can't think of a better group of women to do that with.' Along with healthcare and housing, education was obviously a huge driver for Ms Teesdale. 'The fact that we're looking at education as a whole of life aspect is incredible and we're so excited to get to work in this space,' she said. On Saturday night, Ms Teesdale said she spoke with outgoing Bass member Bridget Archer. 'Bridget did call me to congratulate me last night, and I was very grateful for that 'cause she was very gracious, and I'm very grateful for the work that she did for us,' she said. Ms Teesdale said she was ready to roll her sleeves up for her electorate. 'So as the representative for Bass, what an exciting phrase to say, what we really want people to know is that we are here,' she said. 'We are here for you to come and talk to us. We want to hear the issues that matter most to you, and we're here to work for you.'

WinnaVegas warns of fraudulent online advertisements
SLOAN, Iowa (KCAU) — WinnaVegas Casino Resort is warning of false online advertisements. The casino said it was made aware that the false advertisements claim to offer real-money online gaming to Iowa residents. The casino says the claim is inaccurate, unauthorized, and completely false. WinnaVegas doesn't offer any real-money only slots, table games, or any form of remote wagering. All gaming operations are fully regulated and conducted at its Sloan property. WinnaVegas Casino Resort General Manager Tom Teesdale said that the advertisements suggesting the casino offers real-money online play are entirely fabricated. Midwest Honor Flights receives $2K donation for Mission 26 trip 'We are actively working to have these fraudulent ads removed and are urging our guests to be vigilant and avoid engaging with any links or platforms that claim to represent WinnaVegas in this way,' Teesdale said in a statement. The release said that other tribal casinos are being falsely represented as well, with their names and reputations being exploited. An article from Casino Reports, a gaming industry website, said that Washington tribal casinos were also being impersonated. WinnaVegas says to rely on its website and verified social media for accurate information. 'All authorized gaming activities at WinnaVegas Casino Resort are conducted on-site and under the strict regulatory oversight of the Winnebago Gaming Commission,' the release states.
