This morning I wrote to Elise Archer and respectfully requested that she advise Tasmanians of her decision as to whether she will remain in Parliament or not by 9am on Monday, 9 October.
I have been clear: if Ms Archer cannot provide the Government a guarantee of supply and confidence she should stand down from Parliament to make way for a Liberal.
I have advised Ms Archer that if I do not receive a decision by 9.00am AEDT, Monday October 9, 2023, I will have no option other than to request the Governor dissolve the Parliament and issue writs for a General Election.
