Future Perfect: The Unfolding Results Of Tasmania’s Snap Election

This past weekend saw Tasmania’s snap state election, with results forecasted to be similar to the state election from last year.

Dylan Bird is joined by Robert Hortle, Deputy Director of the Tasmanian Policy Exchange at University of Tasmania, to unpack the election’s unfolding results, the issues and debates that fuelled its campaign and the lessons that should be taken away.

“We really need a step change in the culture of parliament and government in Tasmania. Minority government is almost certainly going to be with us for the forseeable future … the focus really needs to be on collaboration and cooperation”
