Mr Gutwein said at the press conference that now more than ever Tasmania needed a "strong, stable, majority government".
"The Liberal Party has agreed voluntarily to disclose within two business days all donations received for the state campaign exceeding $5,000. "For obvious reasons, if the Parliament were to descend into dysfunction in June or July or August, it would not be appropriate and it's something that I certainly would not do.Peter Gutwein's rise to power
The former financial planner who worked for former federal minister Jocelyn Newman became Mr Hodgman's treasurer after the Liberal Party's 2014 election victory.After Mr Hodgman's announcement, Mr Gutwein and fellow Liberal minister Michael Ferguson both announced their intention to run for premier, but Mr Ferguson's withdrawal from the party room ballot meant Mr Gutwein was elected by the party unopposed.
Support for the Labor Party has been under 30 per cent since last March and was at 27 per cent in February.
What happened to fixed terms?
Way to undo all that 2020 work. A year from now the vaccine had a chance to be rolled out. This snap election is a self-centered terrible idea. Bad move Gutwein.
Bye bye 👋
No surprise here...advertised on the t.v..... just remember the bullshit around Eric Abetz and the fed Libs.... they are liars from the bottom to the top.... the vote is in your hands, peeps...
So Tassie remember this when voting. 5 years jail with parole in 3 years! Videos of infants dying. Animals abused. They won't name him but he produced videos which must have his kids . This isnt good enough. Just one of many depraved stories.
Let’s hope that dreadful Hickey quisling woman will be consigned to the dustbin of history...
Haha Liberals calling elections the moment they see Morrison tanking. If Liberals can lose Tassie, Australia may start appearing less racist, sexist and homophobic to the rest of the world than we actually are... pull the wool over all their eyes!
Absolutely disgusting of the Premier to do this & I will be voting against him. Opposition leader is pregnant,he has governing majority & 12 months to go. We simply don't need to go to polls now & he is just throwing a tantrum about the speaker ABCHobart
He must be very confident.
Vote Sue Hickey, Gutwain does not support tasmanians only foreign investors..
