Labor’s Dean Winter has had a trainwreck performance on radio this morning, confirming one thing: his own desperate leadership ambitions still blaze brightly.
On Sunday, Ms White said we needed to get back to Parliament without delay to progress the Government’s legislative agenda.
This includes the important work of getting on with the job of delivering on the Commission of Inquiry’s recommendations.
Today, Mr Winter confirmed the only reason they are itching to get back to Parliament is to move a stunt motion and disrupt important legislation in the House.
Mr Winter was desperate to talk about how Labor is ready for an early election – the last thing Tasmanians want right now.
This is after Ms White appeared in the media over the weekend with the small business lobby, pretending to support stability and certainty.
Labor can’t have it both ways.
Ms White must be feeling the pressure as Mr Winter spends all his time pushing his own personal power-grab agenda.
He is out auditioning for Ms White’s job, every single day – everyone can see it, and everyone knows it.
Listeners to radio this morning were calling Mr Winter out.
It’s this sort of infighting which led Labor’s star recruit Dr Bastian Seidel to quit, citing “a toxic environment”.
When Ms White couldn’t “end the infighting” like she promised she would, mainland Labor had to send in the administrators.
And Ms White has as yet refused to deal with David O’Byrne’s future in the Labor Party, despite Mr O’Byrne reappearing on Labor’s website as Labor Member for Franklin.
As the former President of Tasmanian Labor Ben McGregor previously said: “The question is, how united is the Party behind the Leader and whether there is actual questions about her leadership and the leadership of others, their aspirations.” (ABC radio 8/8/23)
Who is actually running the show in Labor HQ?
Labor is still toxic, still divided, and not fit to govern Tasmania.
