Labor has today confirmed it will move a no confidence motion in Premier Jeremy Rockliff when parliament returns on October 17.
This is a Premier that is presiding over one of the most unstable governments in living memory.
Under Jeremy Rockliff’s disastrous leadership, the Liberals have lost sight of the issues that matter to Tasmanians.
We need a government focussed on Tasmanians, not on itself.
Independents John Tucker and Lara Alexander’s change in language over the past two weeks shows their confidence in the Premier has evaporated too, with Mr Tucker going as far as describing the Premier as a ‘lame duck’ and Ms Alexander saying there should be an election.
This level of uncertainty in the Premier’s leadership is too great to just sweep under the carpet – confidence of the house needs to be tested and Labor will make sure it is when parliament resumes.
