Tasmania Votes After Snap Election Call
Tasmanians are heading to the polls for an election where leaders of the two major parties have pledged not to govern in minority.
The Liberal government is seeking a historic third term on Saturday after calling the election a year ahead of schedule.
But there is an increasing feeling the level of support for the Labor opposition, and high-profile independents in the Hobart electorate of Clark, could result in a hung parliament.
Premier Peter Gutwein, who has said the Liberals won’t try to govern in minority, voted alongside wife Amanda in Launceston.
“Voters have a choice between certainty, stability, and a majority Liberal government or a minority government that will take us backwards,” he told reporters.
