Australia's only Liberal government could be on the verge of folding when parliament resumes next week as Tasmanian Labor plans to move a no-confidence motion against the Premier.
former attorney-general Elise Archer who quit from parliamentAn early election was avoided last week after Premier Jeremy Rockliff issued an ultimatum to Ms Archer which saw her resign from politics altogether.
State Labor leader Rebecca White confirmed her party will move a no-confidence motion against the Premier when parliament resumes on Tuesday. “While the Liberals spend all their time and energy fighting among themselves, there are so many pressing issues that a good government should be paying attention to that are going unaddressed.
If the motion is put to a vote, the numbers are expected to be tight, with the government holding only nine certain votes in the 25-member House of Assembly. The Labor leader said it was up to Premier Rockliff to determine whether the budget bill will be brought forward.
