Statement From Premier 14 May

Jeremy Rockliff, Premier

It is the Tasmanian Government's intention for this Parliament to be as collaborative and constructive as possible, avoiding unnecessary division and dissent.

We need to be firmly focused on working together to achieve outcomes on the issues that matter for Tasmanians while delivering certainty and stability.

Accordingly, we have listened to the will of the Members and the Parliamentary Liberal Party has decided not to contest the Speakership on the floor of the House.

I take this opportunity to acknowledge the leadership and wise counsel Mark Shelton has provided to the House in his years of service, and I wish the new Speaker all the very best.
