Statement from Premier 14 February

Jeremy Rockliff, Premier

The Parliamentary Liberal Party this afternoon met to discuss the failure of former Liberal MPs John Tucker and Lara Alexander to commit to a new, enduring confidence and supply agreement.

It was unanimously agreed that in the light of this, it was appropriate for me to request the Governor to call a general election.

The only way to restore the stability and certainty Tasmanians need is to re-elect a majority Liberal Government.

A copy of my correspondence to Mr Tucker and Mrs Alexander is attached.
