Ep. 302: Crisis of Confidence in Tasmania
Episode description
You’ve probably seen it on the news - a shakeup in the Tasmanian Parliament. So what’s really going down in the Apple Isle?
Jack Milroy joins Stephen Donnelly to unpack the events and actors surrounding the no-confidence vote in Liberal Premier Jeremy Rockliff.
Was it the new AFL Stadium, the budget, or simply the Opposition spotting an opportunity?
And in a system where major parties increasingly cede ground to crossbenchers - are snap elections the new normal?
Since recording, an election has been called for July 19, and Michelle O’Byrne has announced that she will retire from politics at the next election.
