Newly-independent MP Lara Alexander says a 'huge weight' has been lifted from her shoulders, while the Tasmanian Greens' push to axe Hobart's new stadium look set for failure without Labor's support.
"The proposed shady deal to build a stadium in Hobart has sharply divided the community," Ms Alexander said on Sunday.
"If the AFL stadium deal has caused political turmoil, the Premier has no one to blame but himself," Ms Alexander said on Sunday. "But we're determined to get on with it, on the basis that we have significant federal funding which really respected, and I think demonstrated, that the business case was persuasive for Anthony Albanese our Prime Minister," he said.State parliament returns on May 23, and Mr Ferguson will hand down the state budget on May 25.
"Labor won't support Greens stunts, Labor will be using our numbers to try and extract answers from this government — about the stadium, about power prices about the health system that's failing and now being held together with sticky tape."Ms O'Connor rejected Labor's characterisation.
