David O’Byrne’s decision to tear up his Labor Party membership after 30 years and run as an Independent is a shameful day in the history of the Labor party.
Whatever you think about David O Byrne, he and his family have a long and proud tradition with the Labor Party and it is shameful he has been forced out by Ms White.
Everyone knows that Ms White forcing Mr O’Byrne out is about only one thing and one thing only: Ms White trying to protect her beleaguered leadership.
Ms White’s Caucus colleagues are losing confidence in her, keeping information away from her and conducting fundraisers without her – and even the Prime Minister kept her at a distance on his last visit.
Tasmanian Labor is still hopelessly divided, relentlessly negative, and still administered from Labor overlords in Canberra.
Tasmanian Labor can’t govern their own party, how could they possibly govern Tasmania.
