Since the election, the Greens have done everything possible to work across the Parliament to realise the changes we promised Tasmanians we’d fight for.
No matter what the makeup of this House or who sits on which benches, there is no doubt, that this parliament can do better for Lutruwita's Palawa people.
The Greens have already made it clear to the people of Tasmania what our intentions are in this debate today.
Since the election on 19 July, the Greens have done everything possible to work across the parliament to realise the change we told Tasmanians we'd fight for.
At this stage, the Greens cannot support the proposed no-confidence motion in Parliament next week.
I feel the weight of the debate today, but I also feel the weight of the difficulties being felt and lived by Tasmanians around our state.
This is exactly what I and many Tasmanians dislike in politics, and that is a move without a clear outcome. It is not clear what Labor's plan actually is here.
To move a no‑confidence motion in a premier, and not the Treasurer at the handing down of a budget, is an extraordinary step by the Leader of the Opposition.
Honourable Deputy Speaker, I start my contribution to this motion at the very, I think, very human level and say that I am deeply saddened to take my feet today.
I want to go on a little bit further about my comments about Jeremy Rockliff as Premier in his role with the commission of inquiry.
