In a striking blow to Jeremy Rockliff’s leadership and stature within his own party, it seems as if the Liberals have gone over his head to Eric Abetz to sort out their problems.

The ‘peace deal’ brokered by Jeremy Rockliff and other senior Liberal Ministers seems to have fallen apart, as further bad blood between the Franklin Liberals has come to light today.

It doesn’t bode well for Tasmania if the Premier is incapable or unwilling to get his own house in order. What will happen during other tests of his leadership? Will the Transport Minister handle those too?

What is going to happen when the Lambies seek to roam free from their agreement? - as they have already flirted with.

All the time spent dealing with petty infighting, secret meetings and sour emails is time the Liberals are not devoting to the Tasmanian people 

If the Liberals can’t govern themselves, how can they possibly govern Tasmania?
