At this stage, the Greens cannot support the proposed no-confidence motion in Parliament next week.
Labor Leader Dean Winter has not made a serious attempt at negotiating with the Greens, to get the votes he needs on the floor of parliament.
Since the election, Labor has offered nothing meaningful on budget repair, on the stadium, on the climate, and on environment protection.
Dean Winter is not respecting the Tasmanians who put their support in the Greens, and the policies for change we took to the election.
The Greens' vote grew at this election, while Labor's vote hit an historic low.
Our message to Labor is this: you don't get 25% of the vote and get things 100% your way.
At the election, the Greens promised to fight for change, but under Dean Winter, Labor's not offering any change.
The Greens are not offering a guarantee of confidence to the Liberals.
Whoever forms government, the Greens remain willing to negotiate outcomes, and to work collaboratively to maintain a stable and functional Parliament.
We will continue to hold the government to account and to fight to stop the stadium, to invest the State's limited resources in health and housing, and to get real environmental protections.
If Labor wants to form a stable progressive minority government, they've got a week to engage meaningfully on policy with the Greens. Our door remains open.
