Labor tension as Tasmanian MP calls for party 'that can win'

Key points

  • Tasmanian Labor leader Josh Willie says he is staying on despite internal friction over Braddon MP Shane Broad's online posts. Broad, from the party's right faction, called parliament chaotic and said it was being steered by the Greens and independents, who he argues represent only a minority of Tasmanians.
  • He called for a Labor party able to win a majority of seats.
  • Broad lost the 2021 leadership contest to David O'Byrne, and it is unclear whether he has support from other MPs or members to mount another challenge.
