Fast-track laws for AFL stadium appear punted
Plans to fast-track the approval process for a new $945 million stadium in Tasmania appear dead in the water because of delays caused by the state's snap election. Both the incumbent Liberals and Labor opposition are courting crossbench support after falling short of the 18-seats required for majority at Saturday's election. Four independents who hold the balance of power have said they won't be rushed on negotiations, with the final make-up of parliament likely not settled until August 2. The poll, which was called in June when Premier Jeremy Rockliff lost a vote of no-confidence, delayed legislation designed to fast-track the stadium's approval. Building a 23,000-seat roofed venue at Macquarie Point in Hobart is a condition of the Devils' AFL side entering the league in 2028. Tasmania faces financial penalties if the project doesn't meet construction timelines and if the stadium isn't ready for the club's second season in 2029. The incumbent Liberal government wanted to bring forward legislation to fast-track its approval, overriding the existing project of state significance (POSS) assessment process. The POSS process, which has held public hearings in recent weeks, has continued and will provide a final report on September 17. Mr Rockliff has indicated the fast-track legislation won't be pursued, given parliament may not return until September. "We put the enabling legislation forward because of particular timeframes," he told ABC radio on Thursday. "But expectations are the timelines are now roughly the same in terms of enabling legislation and the POSS process." Labor leader Dean Winter, whose party supports the stadium and said it would vote for the fast-track legislation, said he now wanted to see the project go through the POSS process. "It's clear there is no advantage, in terms of timeline, of the direct legislation," he told reporters. "The POSS has more certainty and is more likely to be supported in the Legislative Council." The stadium must pass a parliamentary vote under the POSS process to be approved. The stadium is supported by the Liberals - who have so far won 14 of 35 lower-house seats after the election - as well as Labor, who have claimed 10. But it faces a trickier passage through the Legislative Council where the major parties don't hold the numbers. Counting to determine the final two undecided election seats continues, with preference distribution expected to begin on Tuesday. Mr Rockliff and Mr Winter, who must obtain the support of the Greens to govern, are negotiating with a crossbench which is mostly opposed to the stadium. The Greens, who hold five seats, are against, as are independents Kristie Johnston, Craig Garland and Peter George. Independent David O'Byrne backs the stadium. Mr Rockliff and Mr Winter have said the stadium is not up for negotiation. Mr Winter reiterated Mr Rockliff would get "first crack" at governing, but Labor didn't want Tasmania forced back to another election if the Liberals couldn't. "In the event he can't secure 18 votes on the floor of the house there is going to need to be people working across the parliament together," Mr Winter said. Mr O'Byrne said the raw numbers on the floor would dictate how easy it would be for either major party to form government. He also said he was open to a Liberal or Labor government. Ms Johnston, Mr Garland and Mr George said formal negotiations won't begin until after the final election results have been decided, saying neither major party has a mandate to govern. "For that reason, like other cross bench members, we will be speaking to both major parties about confidence and supply," the trio said in a statement.

Libs make first pitch to kingmakers in race to govern
Tasmania's Liberal premier has offered a stability agreement, including creation of a budget panel, to crossbenchers whose support he needs to form government. Jeremy Rockliff has declared he has a mandate to rule after the Liberals won the most seats at the state election. Labor counterpart Dean Winter has ruled out doing a deal with the Greens, but wants their confidence and supply votes to govern. The poll on Saturday was the state's second in as many years and delivered another hung parliament. With two seats still in doubt, the Liberals have secured 14 and Labor 10 - both short of the 18 needed for a majority - with the Greens on five and four independents. Several independents have said they are open to backing Mr Rockliff or Mr Winter as premier, but talks are in their infancy. The final make-up of parliament might not be known until August 2 after the distribution of preferences starts on July 29. Mr Rockliff on Tuesday said he had presented the four independents, plus Shooters, Fishers and Farmers' Carlo Di Falco, who is likely to get an in-doubt seat, with a draft stability agreement. The agreement includes setting up a multi-partisan budget panel and for regular cabinet consultation with the cross bench on major policy directions. There is also a "code of engagement" that says a diversity of views should be recognised as a strength not a weakness. The agreement would be co-designed with the cross bench, Mr Rockliff said. "What I want to see is a mature discussion. I believe we can make this parliament work, people expect us to make it work," he told reporters. Complicating cross bench negotiations is the fact the Liberals and Labor back a new AFL stadium and industrial salmon farming, which the majority of the independents and Greens oppose. Mr Rockliff and Mr Winter have spruiked a need for collaboration, but have also said they will not back down from the stadium or key policies. Mr Winter has ruled out "doing a deal" with the Greens, even though Labor requires their numbers to govern. Greens leader Rosalie Woodruff has urged Mr Winter to pick up the phone so the two parties could talk about an alliance. Mr Rockliff was in the box seat to form government, political analyst Richard Herr said. "Both in terms of numbers in the house and with the difficulty for the opposition cobbling together enough from a lower base to actually ... control the house," Professor Herr said. The Liberals have been in minority since 2023 when two MPs quit the party. The 2024 poll resulted in a hung parliament, with the Liberals continuing to govern. A snap election was called in June when Mr Rockliff lost a Labor-led vote of no confidence. Labor has been in opposition since 2014 and has struggled for traction despite ballooning net debt and infrastructure stuff-ups under the Liberals. The party has recorded 25.8 per of the primary vote - its lowest in Tasmania in more than a century - despite getting a huge swing in the state at the May federal election.

Party's over: the election trend that threatens majors
Tasmania's politicians might need to get used to sharing power amid a falling Labor vote and crossbench rise. Incumbent premier Jeremy Rockliff and Labor's Dean Winter are courting the support of independents after Saturday's snap poll delivered another hung parliament. With three seats still in doubt, the Liberals have secured 14 and Labor nine - both short of the 18 needed for a majority, with the Greens on five and four independents. Mr Rockliff has declared he has a mandate to govern with the most seats, but Mr Winter hasn't ruled out relying on confidence and supply of the Greens to govern. Several independents have said they're open to backing either Mr Rockliff or Mr Winter as the state's next premier. With three-quarters of the count completed, Labor's primary vote has dropped 3.2 per cent to 25.8 - the lowest for the party in Tasmanian history. It came despite a massive swing toward Labor in the state at the May federal poll. The Liberals ran a campaign narrative of laying the blame for an early election at the feet of Mr Winter, after a Labor-led no-confidence motion in Mr Rockliff was successful. "It may have been a case of 'we've given you a chance and rewarded you at federal level and now you want to be rewarded again?'," election analyst Kevin Bonham said of Labor's poor showing. Labor has been in opposition since 2014 and has struggled for traction despite ballooning net debt and infrastructure stuff-ups under the Liberals. The Liberals picked up a 3.2 per cent swing with a primary vote of 39.9 per cent, well away from their 48.7 per cent when they were elected in majority in 2021. One-third of the state didn't vote for the major two parties, with several independents increasing their support. The Liberals were plunged into minority in 2023 when two MPs quit to the crossbench. A snap 2024 poll delivered a hung parliament but Labor refused to govern. While it wasn't the end of majority government, it was now more difficult for the majors to get there, Dr Bonham said. A roughly 20 per cent cohort of voters who traditionally swung between the major parties in Tasmania had seemingly broken down, he said. Labor went to the election without big vote-getter Rebecca White, who has switched to federal politics, and popular ex-Speaker Michelle O'Byrne, who retired. The Liberals ran ex-federal MPs Bridget Archer and Gavin Pearce, who were both elected. Tasmania's politicians might need to get used to sharing power amid a falling Labor vote and crossbench rise.

Politics, election makes devil's brew of Tassie stadium
A new stadium and Tasmania's AFL dream are inextricably tied to politics, with the state's election delivering more unkind bounces. Construction of a 23,000-seat roofed venue at Macquarie Point in Hobart is a condition of the Devils' licence to enter the league in 2028. The project is backed by the incumbent Liberals and Labor opposition which both fell short of the 18 seats needed for majority government at Saturday's snap poll. Liberal leader Jeremy Rockliff and Labor leader Dean Winter have started courting four crossbench independents, three of whom campaigned on an anti-stadium platform. Labor is expected to finish with 10 seats behind the Liberals' 14, meaning in order to govern it would need support of the five-seat Greens who are vehemently anti-stadium. Mr Rockliff and Mr Winter have both declared the stadium is not up for negotiation. "My very firm commitment was for our very own Tassie AFL and AFLW team. I'm very proud of securing the deal," Mr Rockliff said. Talks with the cross bench will likely span weeks, with the three undecided seats potentially not determined until August 2. Two pathways exist for approving the stadium, both of which require a vote of both houses of parliament. The initial method was an assessment under Tasmania's project of state significance process. But tight timelines and financial penalties if the stadium isn't finished for the 2029 season prompted Mr Rockliff to change course and put forward fast-track approval legislation. Debate on that legislation was delayed by the snap election, which was sparked by a Labor-led no-confidence motion against Mr Rockliff. Despite Greens and cross bench stadium opposition, the legislation, with Liberal and Labor numbers, will pass the lower house. "What the vote said is that two-thirds of Tasmanians voted for pro-Tassie Devils and pro-stadium candidates. That is resounding," Mr Rockliff said. The stadium, however, faces a trickier path through the 15-member upper house where neither the Liberals nor Labor have the numbers. AFL CEO Andrew Dillon maintained he was confident of the club's 2028 start date. "I'm not a builder but what we need to do is work with the government of the day to get the planning permission ... and basically just get on with it," he told reporters on Monday. The Devils stand ready to work with the incoming Tasmanian government. "We are focused on entering the AFL and AFLW by 2028, in order to do that we have several time frames that must be met," the club said in a statement. "We are very eager to work with the government to realise these."
