The election was sparked after defections from Rockliff’s party plunged the only Liberal government among Australia’s six states and two self-governing territories into minority.“We’ve won the most seats and indeed the most votes and so the Tasmanian people have not voted to change the government,” he said in the state capital, Hobart.
