Tasmanians are receiving anything but the stable government they were promised just 11 months after the last state election.
With the resignation of Premier Peter Gutwein, the government has descended into absolute chaos as the Liberals officially bring the working of government to a grinding halt with the unnecessary cancellation of State Parliament as they attempt to sort themselves out.
This is a government that has imploded and is characterised by disarray with a revolving door of members walking away when they promised Tasmanians leadership.
Tasmanians are now faced with an extraordinary situation of their third Liberal Premier in three years and they can now expect the same factional in-fighting they witnessed two years ago as Ministers jockey for the top job.
The sudden resignation of the Premier has also thrown the business of government into chaos with the needless cancellation of Parliament next week.
There is no requirement to prorogue the Parliament just because the Liberals are in a mess and Tasmanians need the wheels of government to keep turning so important matters can be debated.
Labor is prepared to offer a pair to ensure the Parliament can keep working, we will not move a motion of no confidence in the government and it is imperative that the work of Parliament is not disrupted while the government collapses.
