I believe so. Tasmania has their own accents, weather, economical basis and structure, people, wildlife, and land. TAS has an alright economy too which is running smoothly currently. I see bright future for it. Hobart keeps being built up more and more.

Yes, weather has always been a significant factor in seeking independence.

New Zealand would join Australia before long before Tasmania would ever leave.

Australia is already a province of NZ

As for Tasmania, its a world emerging power with the 4th largest Navy in the world including 3 Nimitz class aircraft carriers, I believe its inevitable Tasmania will seek independence or simply invade the mainland.

The OP seems serious and genuine.
I haven't heard of much push or sentiment for it.
They don't seem to have that raw boorish parochialism with deep seated resentment, that you would expect to ignite such a motion.
It has a small population (less than the Gold Coast or Newcastle), and a small economy that relies heavily on tourism from the mainland.
More chance of WA seceding, or North Queensland becoming a new state.

No. And Tasmanians don't have an accent, they speak the same as other Australians.

What about Queensland, with all that weather and those accents. For that matter, WA. They have a distinctive accent and weather. And SA and Vic, and...

I'm sure Bob Brown & Co would love it... A little green utopia. The only problem is who would pay for their welfare while they all sit around in circles contemplating their navels?
