Old Brisbane Arcade, Launceston, Tasmania
Crenellation, half-timbered building, hotel, Launceston, Little John, Old Brisbane Arcade, outlaw, Neil Pitt, Robin Hood, Robin Hood and Little John Hotel, shopping, Tas, Tasmania.
The three-level Old Brisbane Arcade was developed by Neil Pitt and can be found in the centre of the Tasmanian city of Launceston. The interior of the arcade includes a half-timbered building effect, whilst at the exterior of the rear courtyard there is some crenellation. Half-timbered buildings were common in medieval northern Europe from the twelfth century. These medieval features may be a nod towards the arcade being behind the façade of what was at one time the Robin Hood and Little John Hotel, named after the popular medieval English outlaws. The hotel had been built in 1824 and was named the Robin Hood and Little John for a few years in the mid-nineteenth century, before finally becoming the Brisbane Hotel.

“Robin Hood†(pantomime)
Bijou Theatre, Hobart, The Mercury, newspaper, outlaw, pantomime, performance, Robin Hood, Tas, Tasmania, theatre.
This 1924 article in the Hobart based newspaper The Mercury advertises two performances of the pantomine 'Robin Hood' at the Bijou Theatre. The performances were held 'by special request' following an earlier successful season. The pantomine is presumably based on the exploits of the legendary medieval English outlaw Robin Hood.

No 'Robin Hood' financial transaction tax coming to Australia, says Wayne Swan
Australian businesses, bank, business, economic crisis, economic growth, economy, finance, financial transaction tax, folklore, France, investor, Nicolas Sarkozy, outlaw, penalty, revenue, Robin Hood, “Robin Hood†tax, tax, treasury, Wayne Swan
This article from the online news site Perth Now reports on Australian Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan’s decision not follow the lead of European nations such as France and introduce a financial transactions tax to deal with economic crisis. Such a measure would slow economic growth, Swan said, because it would affect the transactions that Australian businesses engaged in every day and raise the cost of capital. French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s plan to introduce a 0.1 per cent tax on all financial transactions has been dubbed a “Robin Hood†tax. This name stems from the legendary medieval outlaw who stole from the rich to give to the poor, because it imposes taxation on businesses and investors in order to help the ailing economy.
