Tasmania's Liberal government secures key independents' support.

Tasmania's minority Liberal government has secured the support of key independents Kristie Johnston and David O'Byrne, ensuring sufficient votes for governance. The agreements provide confidence and supply in the forthcoming parliament, with the independents retaining the right to vote as they wish in other matters. The deals follow an earlier agreement with three Jacqui Lambie Network MPs, giving Premier Jeremy Rockliff a total of 19 of the 35 votes on the floor when parliament returns.
