Tasmanian government faces "economic destruction" if it doesn't secure new deal with independent MPs before state budget.
Tasmania's government may face "economic destruction" if it fails to secure a new deal with independent MPs Miriam Beswick and Rebekah Pentland before the state budget, warns the state's Labor party. The MPs, who were expelled from the Jacqui Lambie Network, are now considering a new agreement that would provide supply and confidence to the government, amid criticism of the Liberal government's handling of Tasmania's economy, with economist Saul Eslake claiming it is "entirely to blame" for the state's deterioration.
