Tasmania's state election has concluded with neither the Liberal nor the Labor party securing a majority, leading to a hung parliament. The Liberals, under Premier Jeremy Rockliff, are seeking a record fourth successive term, while Labor aimed to end its decade-long opposition. Key issues influencing voter decisions included health, education, and a controversial proposal for a new AFL stadium in Hobart. Independent and minor parties, including the Jacqui Lambie Network, have made significant gains, with the latter winning its first-ever seat in Braddon and a second seat in Lyons. Labor has conceded defeat, with leader Rebecca White indicating she is unlikely to recontest the leadership. The election's outcome has sparked negotiations between the Liberals and crossbenchers, including discussions with the Jacqui Lambie Network, as Rockliff attempts to form a minority government. The election has been described as extraordinary, with both major parties and several independents and minor parties claiming pathways to forming a government.
