00:00Sworn in as Premier for the third time in as many years, Jeremy Rockcliffe is hoping this term will last four years.
00:11But with a no-confidence motion on the horizon, he and his new Cabinet might only be in their roles another week or so.
00:19What we need to do, of course, is work across the community, across the Parliament to deliver for Tasmanians.
00:27Mr Rockcliffe's future hangs on what the crossbench decides to do.
00:31And while his move to end funding for Greyhound Racing might have won favour with the Greens and Independent Christy Johnston,
00:38Shooters, Fishers and Farmers MP Carlo DeFalco is less than impressed.
00:43Cast the cloud over our negotiation with the Liberals.
00:49It was just the right thing to do.
00:51This is an example of strong collaboration and listening to the Tasmanian community and recognising, of course, others that have been elected to the Parliament and their views.
01:02Labor appears to be sticking with its election commitment to extend funding for all three racing codes past 2029.
01:09I'm not going to be like Jeremy Rockcliffe and start proposing changes that I'll never deliver, because that's what he's doing.
01:16Mr Winter announced his Cabinet today, should he take power.
01:20All of the Labor members, aside from Brian Mitchell, would get portfolios.
01:25Josh Willey returns to education, Sarah Lovell to health, while Ella Haddad will take on the role of Special Minister of State to work with the crossbench.
01:35We are genuinely offering a different way of working. What Jeremy Rockcliffe is offering is more of the same.
01:41Mr Winter met with Greens leader Rosalie Woodruff for the first time on Sunday afternoon.
01:47The Greens say it was the start of a conversation, with a commitment to meet again.
01:52No, we haven't negotiated. We've had a discussion like we've had with the Shooters, Farmers, Fishers and the Independents.
01:58The Greens want Labor to give some ground on policy, but so far it appears only the Liberals are doing that,
02:04with pledges that are very much aligned with the progressive side of the crossbench.
02:09But both major parties remain in the dark about where key crossbenches stand and who will prevail when Parliament resumes next week.
02:17The Strickland
