Premier Jeremy Rockliff clearly lied on Saturday when he stood next to Mr Tucker and Mrs Alexander and said Parliament would be given two opportunities to vote on his stadium through the Projects of State Significance process.
“There are two opportunities for the parliament – and people of Tasmania… to get to have a say on the stadium …one to set up the project of state significance, and then [to] finalise the arrangements,” Mr Rockliff said.
On Monday, the Premier backflipped and admitted Parliament would in fact be unlikely to get a final say on whether the project proceeds.
Today in question time it seemed he didn’t know the answer and was seeking advice.
Clearly rattled, the best he could come up with was to attempt to deflect the spotlight by trying to answer a question with a question.
Under the direction of Jeremy Rockliff the Liberals have clearly lost their way.
After today’s rocky start of governing in minority, there should be very little confidence they can hold on for much longer.
