The Parliamentary Liberal Party this afternoon met to discuss the failure of former Liberal MPs John Tucker and Lara Alexander to commit to a new, enduring confidence and supply agreement.
It was unanimously agreed that in the light of this, it was appropriate for me to request the Governor to call a general election.
The only way to restore the stability and certainty Tasmanians need is to re-elect a majority Liberal Government.
A copy of my correspondence to Mr Tucker and Mrs Alexander is attached.
