Not sure how widely this little drama is known outside of Tassie. But this farce just keeps getting more ridiculous.

    Echoing everyone else’s sentiments in saying thank you for the write-up - we really don’t get enough Tas-specific news here, even just across the strait!

    What do you think is the likelihood of Labor winning a majority/minority Government as a result of a potential snap election?

      I apologise if my summary is too biased/inaccurate, tried my best to be as impartial and factual as I could while falling asleep on my phone at 4am.

      Honestly not sure what to expect if a snap election is called, we can be a funny populace to call and a snap election leaves little time for political messaging to percolate, but also a commensurately short time to combat any poor messaging that gains a foothold.

      I think Dean Winters (the Labor leader) may be unpopular enough to cause Labor some grief at the ballot box, but the Liberals fumbling is going to give the party a small lift. Labors stance that they won’t partner with the Greens will also cause them some grief.

      I personally think independent stand the most to gain and will hold balance of power in whatever minority government gets through.

      Gun to my head - Labor minority.
