Over to Tasmania, where the premier vows to make governing work “no matter how hard it gets” despite a major fracture in the balance of power keeping the Liberals in charge. Two MPs from the Jacqui Lambie Network on Saturday parted ways with the party to serve as independents in Tasmania’s lower house, reports AAP.
Miriam Beswick and Rebekah Pentland are among crossbenchers Jeremy Rockliff’s minority Liberal government relies upon to stay in power, and he has promised to continue so as to avoid another election and maintain business confidence. In a statement on Saturday afternoon, Rockliff said he would make it work, saying he was committed to stability and certainty. “I pledged to work with the parliament that the Tasmanian people elected,” he said. That’s what I have done, and will continue to do.
