  • Tasmania: Majority Or Minority Government? *
    AUSTRALASIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW Tasmania: Majority or Minority Government? * Michael Lester and Dain Bolwell PhD Candidate, Institute for the Study of Social Change, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Tasmania Associate, Institute for the Study of Social Change, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Tasmania * Double-blind reviewed article. INTRODUCTION While the outcome of the March 2018 Tasmanian State Election was predictable,1 the controversies that dogged the campaign were not. Yet it was the aftermath of the election that was most astonishing—not only to the public but also to members of Cabinet. Tasmania is different. Its parliamentary institutions are unusual and its electoral system is distinctive. So were the issues on which the March 2018 state election was fought. In the lead up to the election both major parties campaigned to govern alone or not at all—neither in minority nor in coalition with the Greens. As well as this apparently overarching concern, there were three other major issues prominent during the campaign—an acute housing shortage, the thousands of poker machines in pubs and clubs, and the surprise matter of gun control. Health, education, law and order, the economy and who would best manage the budget were, as usual, also policy battle grounds; however, the minority government fear campaign, a television blitz on the benefits of poker machines and considerable 1 N.

AT THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY ISSUE No. 564 5/32 Channel Highway, Kingston. 7050 • Ph: 6229 3655 • Email [email protected] TUESDAY, 26 JANUARY 2021 Playground marching toward completion Progress is being made toward completion of the new playground in Kingston Park. Mayor of Kingborough, Cr Dean Winter expects the new playground to open in autumn. “We will have the playground ready to go in March,” Mayor Winter stated. “Things are progressing well with contractors making good progress towards completion. “The aim is to have the playground open to the public in early March. “I am a little disappointed we could not get it finished in time for the summer school holidays, but we had a few COVID-related setbacks in the second half of last year, especially with getting various components into the state. “The playground is the next component of our plan to transform Kingston from a tired old highway town to a thriving, exciting place to be. “Kingston has to be a place people want to come to,” explained Mayor Winter. “A place for them to sit, wander, eat and drink. “It can’t just be a place you drive to, buy something and get back in the car and leave. “The playground, the new townhouse development on the site, community hub and hopefully a major employer on the site down the track will all contribute to making Kingborough a great place to live.” A transformation of the Channel Highway through the heart of Kingston’s main business and shopping hub is also set to commence this year.
