Tasmanian Premier Strikes Deal with Jacqui Lambie Network

Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff has struck a much-needed deal with the Jacqui Lambie Network as he prepares to govern another term in minority.

Premier Jeremy Rockliff needed to rely on independents and minor parties as the Liberals only secured 14 seats following last month's early election. Picture: Chris Kidd "The three new members of the JLN, Miriam Beswick, Andrew Jenner, and Rebekah Pentland, have agreed to provide confidence on all confidence and censure votes, guarantee supply to support all appropriation and revenue bills, and support the Government on parliamentary motions that bind the government.

Under the new deal, JLN members agree to"provide confidence to the Rockliff Liberal Government by supporting the Government on all confidence and censure votes by attending and voting with the Government", except in cases of"malfeasance or corruption." "Stupidity at its best with Jeremy Rockliff. If you want to talk about chaos, I think the Liberal Party has completely lost it to be honest," she told SkyNews.com.au on March 15.
