My understanding is that it gives Greens and Independents a chance to kill the stadium but I could be wrong.No confidence motion set to succeed.

Nobody knows. The premier could resign and the same liberal government forms another minority government, or then Labor forms an even smaller minority if Liberals can't form government with cross bench support. If that happened, then Labor can just reintroduce existing legislation.No confidence motion set to succeed.

Convention would say Rockliff goes-
Winter said he supports the budget and stadium going they just want Rockliff out, I suspect Jeremy is too ego driven and would dissolve parliament
Egos are going to drive them all towards the nuclear option that none of them actually want, cos it doesn't doesn't benefit anyone other than the Greens and Lambie. I don't think it even really benefits independents, just minor parties with some name cache.
Winter said he won't support the greens putting the stadium in the no confidence proposal.
So I guess Greens may back down??
Labour have to back down
libs change leader
who knows no one is winning
Didn’t Labor oppose the stadium before the election?
lets not forget andrew wilkies role in all this .... staunchly opposed to the stadium (and the afl)
if he pursues efforts for a rectangular stadium (an interest he has flagged in the past) then he should be rightly condemned as both hypocrite and grubby campaigner of the highest order
jackie lambie doesnt either ...... but her efforts working behind the scenes riling people up are well known - are you disputing her involvement in this anti-stadium push?He literally has no role in the Tasmanian Parliament.
What a strange attempt at a snipe.
And yet, 100% accurate.yours is a silly - and ignorant - comment
Politicians are allowed to organise the community for stances and causes they believe in. You may not like what they're doing, but they're not playing any direct part in what is a state parliament vote.jackie lambie doesnt either ...... but her efforts working behind the scenes riling people up are well known - are you disputing her involvement in this anti-stadium push?

This is irrelevant though, because Tas Labor hate the Greens so much they'd rather sit out of government than even try to make a deal with them. That's pretty much what happened after the last election. I don't think relations between them have improved since then.agree , Winter can't form government and support the stadium as the Greens don't support it.
not disputing that .... or a politicians right to mobilise sentimentPoliticians are allowed to organise the community for stances and causes they believe in. You may not like what they're doing, but they're not playing any direct part in what is a state parliament vote.
Are you sure this parliamentary manoeuvre actually has anything at all to do with the stadium? Winter has said multiple times that he supports the team and the stadium. I suspect this is actually to do with last week's budget that has had a pretty negative reception.not disputing that .... or a politicians right to mobilise sentiment
but this parliamentary manoeuvre hasnt happened in a vacuum - or in isolation of public sentiment ..... which is the point im making
wilkie has actively campaigned against the stadium for a long time ..... he is as much responsible for the parliamentary hand wringers who have pushed this no-confidence motion as the hand wringers themselves
But they are not. We made the business case, we said we needed a new stadiumIt shits me that the AFL is effectively holding Tassie to ransom over the stadium. It's obviously not about footy because if it was there would have been a team from the land of Hudson, Baldock and Richardson long before GWS and GC, they just want a shiny new thing to present their product.
100% .... and efforts to amend the no-confidence motion by greens would support this (along with contributions from independents who spoke on the issue in todays parliamentary session)Are you sure this parliamentary manoeuvre actually has anything at all to do with the stadium?

Based on what?100% ....
And what guarantee is there that Labor and the independents vote to add the amendment?and efforts to amend the no-confidence motion by greens would support this (along with contributions from independents who spoke on the issue in todays parliamentary session)
Of course it's an issue, I just think people are overreacting. The risk is a delay to the bill, not that it won't pass.sure, the no confidence motion didnt include the stadium as a debating point (and the above motion to amend it was defeated with labor support) ..... but it is an issue front and centre in all this silliness
