Hung Parliament Still Likely Outcome of Tasmanian Election, with Liberals Well Ahead of Labor in New Poll
TASMANIA, AUSTRALIA, JUL 14 – DemosAU poll shows Liberals lead with 34.9% but predicts no majority, indicating a hung parliament and strong independent vote of 20.3% ahead of Tasmania's July 19 election.
- Tasmanians are voting in the state election this Saturday where Premier Jeremy Rockliff seeks to retain power against Labor leader Dean Winter.
- Last month, an election was triggered after Winter brought forward a no-confidence motion, criticizing Rockliff's leadership over increasing debt, postponed ferry projects, and abandoned plans to privatize state assets.
- Polling shows Liberals leading with 34.9% of the vote versus Labor's 24.7%, but analysts expect another hung parliament requiring crossbench negotiation mostly involving the Greens.
- Rockliff states Liberals will not seek Greens’ support to govern, while Winter promises no deals with the Greens and pledges to resign if he fails to deliver 10 new bulk-billing GP clinics.
- The expected outcome is another minority government highlighting Tasmanians’ demand for transparency, collaboration, and stable four-year parliamentary terms to avoid frequent elections.
