Tasmania Election Results in Likely Hung Parliament
Liberals lead with largest vote share but fall short of majority, as minor parties and independents make significant gains.
- The Liberal party, led by Premier Jeremy Rockliff, won the largest share of votes in the Tasmanian state election but fell short of a majority, leading to a likely hung parliament.
- Minor parties and independents gained significant support, with the Greens and the Jacqui Lambie Network (JLN) increasing their share of votes.
- The election was called more than a year early due to a minority government standoff, with the Liberals seeking a fourth consecutive term.
- Final results are pending due to the complexity of the count under Tasmania’s Hare-Clark electoral system, with several seats still undecided.
- The outcome may shift the political landscape in Tasmania, with a move towards minority governments and a significant role for minor parties and independents in governance.
