00:47 The Premier has until March 5 to confirm he will comply. I will not provide continued confidence
00:56 and supply to a government which seeks to impose minority rule over the majority.
01:02 His letter explicitly says that he is not prepared to face the Parliament unless the fix is in.
01:09 That is unprecedented and Tasmanians should be appalled and disgusted.
