Tasmanian Labor says it is trying to understand what the "right approval process" is for the Macquarie Point stadium, suggesting it may walk back its support for the fast-track process currently in place. The $945 million proposed waterfront stadium is being assessed by the Tasmanian Planning Commission as a Project of State Significance (POSS). But the government and others involved in the project fear the project will be unable to meet the strict timelines set out by the AFL.

Some have changed parties, while others are having another crack — candidates are revealing themselves ahead of the snap state election for Tasmania in five weeks' time, on July 19. One Nation has announced it will not field candidates in the state election, while Jacqui Lambie's party, which at one stage had three members in the parliament last year, will have no candidates this time around. It is expected many more candidates will be revealed in the lead-up to the poll.

After a nail-biting few days of "will they, won't they, could they, should they," Tasmania's very, very early election is full-steam ahead. Except this one can't exactly be full steam, can it?

That was one of the reasons for Labor's successful no-confidence motion in Premier Jeremy Rockliff.

Speaker and long-serving Tasmanian Labor MP Michelle O'Byrne has announced she will retire from politics at the next election — which is expected to be called later today. In a speech to parliament, the Bass MP reflected on her 25-year career in politics while taking a parting shot at her own party. "It is not enough to say that you want minority government or indeed majority government to work," Ms O'Byrne told parliament.
