Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff has set an ultimatum for former attorney-general Elise Archer, demanding her resignation from parliament by Monday, October 9. Failure to comply will result in the Premier seeking an early election. Rockliff stated that if Archer cannot provide a guarantee of supply and confidence to the government, she should step down and make way for another Liberal. Archer has resigned from the Liberal Party, leaving the government’s already uncertain footing in question as parliament is set to reconvene on October 17. It remains unclear whether Archer will choose to sit in parliament as an independent and offer support to the government or leave, prompting a recount in her seat and the possibility of another Liberal candidate taking her place.
