Your title does not reflect the overall story - that the Tasmanian Liberal Government neglected to note the (Commonwealth) Constitutions clause of Section 117. And if you are wanting to tell all seniors of the availability of a free parks pass while in Tasmania (for the first year only), you would/should link the story to the General Discussion at this forum.

A mountaineering partner told me that when she worked in the Northern Territory, non Northern-Territorians paid significantly more to visit National Parks there than the locals did, circa 2007-09. Perhaps no-one was aware of the Commonwealth Constitution clause, there, either.

And the clause probably does not apply to private enterprises such as MONA - free for Tasmanian residents only.
