Election-weary state heads to the polls again
In the early elections on Saturday, Tasmania will be fourth in the second and seven years of the state.
Seats were held (required for 18 majority)
* Liberal 14, workers 10, greens five, independent five, Jacqui Lambie Network One.
Why are we here?
* Liberal Minority Prime Minister Jeremy Rockliff lost an insecure vote in Parliament in June. As a leader, he refused to be aside, the governor called the election, because the applicable government could not be established.
Voting
* Demosau’s last one to support a large number of surveys by putting the liberals at 34.9 percent of the parliament, then the worker (24.7), Independent (20.3), Greens (15.6) and Nationals (2.7).
Big problems
* Stadium. Both major parties support a new coastal place of $ 945 million in Hobart, but against the greenery, a few cross jams and the community.
* Budget. Balloon debt, which was more than $ 13 billion in 2027/28, was a reason for the insecure movement in Mr. Rockliff.
* Health. While the liberals remain connected to five, labor 10 free throw invoices promises to establish GP Clinic.
* Life cost. Liberals want to establish a state -owned insurance company to make premiums cheaper.
Prospective premiere
* Liberal – Jeremy Rockliff. From an agricultural family, the 55 -year -old has been leading since 2022 and has been part of the liberal government since they came to power in 2014.
* Labor – Dean Winter. He became the leader after the 2024 election loss of his 40 -year -old party, a former parliamentary member.
Rabbit
* Under the voting system of Tasmania, seven deputies are elected in each of the five voters.
CANDIDATES INTERESTED
* While the liberals hired former Federal MPs Gavin Pearce and Bridget Archer, he did the same with Labour Brian Mitchell.
* Anti -Salmon Activist Peter George, who received great support in the federal elections, is among the record cohort of 44 independent candidates.
* Citizens aim to enter the parliament through former liberal John Tucker and former Jacqui Lambie Network deputies Andrew Jenner and Miriam Beswick.
