Tasmanians will go to polls again on July 19 after no confidence motion in Premier Jeremy Rockliff
Governor Barbara Baker granted approval for the election a day after Mr Rockliff made the request in order to end the state's political deadlock.
She said she was 'satisfied that there is no real possibility that an alternative government can be formed'.
In a statement, released on Wednesday night, the Governor said she would dissolve Parliament and issue the writ for an election on July 19.
'Notwithstanding the recent 2024 election, the public interest in avoiding the cost of another election and the prevailing public mood against holding an election, I have granted Premier Rockliff a dissolution,' Governor Baker said.
Mr Rockliff had refused to resign as losing the no-confidence motion 17-18 in order for another Liberal MP to take over as Premier, saying he would seek a snap election to decide the future of the government.
Ms Baker on Tuesday said she would take 'the time necessary to give due consideration to all available options'.
She met with Labor Opposition Leader Dean Winter on Wednesday, before Mr Rockliff returned for a second meeting just after 6pm.
Mr Winter last week moved the motion against Mr Rockliff over the minority Liberal government's handling of the state's troubled economy, following the handing down of the state budget on May 29.
The budget forecast net debt was expected to approach $11bn by the end of the decade.
Labor also took aim at the bungled handling of the rollout of the new Spirit of Tasmania vessels.
Mr Rockliff lost last Thursday's no-confidence motion 17-18 in the lower house of parliament, making his position untenable, with key independents refusing to back his minority government.
He held onto the leadership, while Labor's Mr Winter ruled out forming a minority government with the Greens.
Mr Rockliff had delayed visiting Government House until Tuesday to ensure parliament passed emergency legislation to ensure public servants would be paid during and after an election.

Disability discrimination commissioner calls on Queensland to scrap plan for new special schools
Australia's disability discrimination commissioner wants Queensland to scrap plans to build more special schools, but the state government says there has been an increased demand for them. Commissioner Rosemary Kayess said she was "disappointed" by the Queensland government's announcement of six new special schools. The prominent human rights lawyer told the ABC she had been speaking to education ministers across the country about the development of a national road map to inclusive education. The road map was a recommendation from the disability royal commission's final report handed down in 2023 and had been agreed to "in principle" by all levels of governments last year. Commissioner Kayess said it would essentially be a move away from "segregating kids" and "transform mainstream education so all kids can go to school together". Commissioner Kayess has written to Premier David Crisafulli and Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek to express her "deep concerns" following the announcement in June. "The Queensland government is locking the state into a failed ableist model of the past which penalises people with disability," she said. It comes as the teachers in the state's 1,266 public schools are set to strike on Wednesday after protracted enterprise bargaining negotiations with the government. Mr Langbroek said enrolments at the state's 46 special schools had increased by more than 38 per cent since 2019. "We cannot ignore the growing demand from parents and carers who need or want to send their child to a special school," he said in a statement. He said the government had announced its largest investment into special schools as part of its $21.9 billion education budget for 2025-26 to cater for the growth. Mr Langbroek said the government was committed to providing "world-class education to all children regardless of the school they attend". "We will continue to provide choice and support for families to help them make the decision that best suits their family's needs," he said. Queensland Association of Special Education Leaders president Andrew Thompson said the new schools would be near mainstream schools to allow for strong relationships to be formed between the two. Mr Thompson's organisation represents almost 700 members who work in special education across special, primary and secondary schools. He said he believed mainstream schools struggled to accommodate for students with a disability due to a workforce shortage and a lack of expertise taught at university. Mr Thompson said he supported "parents being able to make a choice of either a mainstream school or a special school". Inclusive Educators Australia's (IEA) chairperson, Loren Swancutt, said the government should be investing in supporting "regular teachers in regular schools" working to include students with a disability in their classrooms. "This investment is not just a policy misstep, it is a profound moral and human rights failure," the Queensland secondary educator said. "Segregating students based on disability sends a damaging message that some children do not belong in their local schools or communities." Ms Swancutt said IEA represented more than 10,000 educators across the country committed to "building genuinely inclusive schools". She said the state had "nation-leading and award-winning inclusive education policy". "But unfortunately, we have not seen the commitment and follow-through," Ms Swancutt said. Ms Swancutt, who has worked in education for 15 years, said she wanted "actual commitment" from all levels of government to develop and fulfil the national road map. The federal education department said all governments supported the disability royal commission's vision for more accessible and inclusive education for students with disability. "To ensure accountability, all governments have agreed to biannual reporting to the Disability Reform Ministerial Council and the community on implementation of recommendations," the spokesperson said. "The first report is expected within coming weeks." The department said discussions to support the development of policy responses to the royal commission, including the design of the national road map, "have commenced and regular officials-level meetings are ongoing". "It is anticipated that advice for education ministers will be prepared in late 2025 and that people with lived experience of disability and other stakeholders will be a key part of the development of the road map and policy responses," the department spokesperson said. Commissioner Kayess said there had been a lot of focus on the division amongst the disability royal commissioners, who were unable to reach a consensus on the future of special schools in the final report. "What we're forgetting is the unanimous position that all commissioners held that there needs to be a transformation of our mainstream education system to make it inclusive," Commissioner Kayess said. "The royal commission spoke about the well-oiled pathway from special schools to segregated employment, and that really is not a bright future for those kids."

Estimated 90,000 protesters created 'perilous situation' during pro-Palestine Harbour Bridge march
A safe end to the pro-Palestinian protest in which an estimated 90,000 people crossed the Sydney Harbour Bridge has not allayed concerns about similar mass demonstrations across the world-famous landmark, senior NSW Police say. The number of protesters that attended Sunday's March for Humanity from the CBD to North Sydney, calling for an end to the war in Gaza, far exceeded what organisers had submitted in their forms to gain approval. And as the day progressed, authorities feared there was a "real risk of crowd crush" as protesters gathered on the north side, creating a choke point. It was a safety risk raised by police in the lead-up to the event, along with the short timeframe for planning, that prompted them to seek a prohibition order. Acting Assistant Commissioner Adam Johnson described the situation on the bridge as "intense", and one of the "most perilous" he has been involved in. "I can honestly say in my 35 years of policing, that was a perilous situation," Assistant Commissioner Johnson said at a press conference following the march. "I was honestly worried that we were going to have a major incident with potential loss of life." He said officers were overwhelmed and decisions had to be made on the run. One of the major changes put in place about 3pm stopped the march, with protesters told to stop where they were, turnaround and walk back towards the CBD. It created confusion and frustration as people tried to move in both directions, but police have credited the move with averting a potential incident and ensuring people's safety. Acting Deputy Commissioner Peter McKenna said there were times when they were worried that both groups would come together. "We could not get those people, the number, the significant size of that crowd off that northern egress route without risking crowd crush," Acting Deputy Commissioner McKenna said. "We could not allow those numbers to then egress into the northern side." He credits officers' hard work and the good behaviour of protesters for the fact no-one was injured. "This operation, from our point of view, was a success in that no-one was hurt, no police were hurt," Acting Deputy Commissioner McKenna said. "But gee whiz, I wouldn't like to try and do this every Sunday at that short notice." He reiterated what police had been saying, that "there's a reason we said we like to have time to plan for these protests". "I think going forward into the future, that has to be taken into consideration," he said. "Thankfully we've had an operation, whilst perilous at times, turned out that everyone has gone home safe." Assistant Commissioner Johnson added that police were not anti-protests, saying they oversee more than 1,500 a year, and had for a while been working with the organisers of Sunday's event. The Palestine Action Group has been regularly holding marches in the CBD for nearly two years. He said it was all about public safety. "Our whole issue today was never about the fact that they are protesting something that is so significant, and we understand it's significant in a lot of people's minds and hearts right around the world. "Quite clearly today showed us that we had to scramble … We had to really think about how we could get people safely out of that confined space and back into the city safely. "It came very close to us having almost a catastrophic situation." In response, Amal Naser, one of the organisers from the Palestine Action Group, called the senior officer's comments a "poor attempt" to "undermine the Supreme Court's decision". "The reality is that police had eight days to logistically prepare for this protest," Ms Naser told the media a short time after the event. "They wasted their resources on going to court and trying to crush the right to protest. Ms Naser called the march "successful" and a "monumental and historical moment in anti-war protest history". Fellow organiser Josh Lees said while the turnout had exceeded their expectations, there were no plans for another action on the harbour bridge. He said weekly rallies would continue. "Today was unprecedented, and we thought that a bold step would inspire people to come out," Mr Lees said. "Because they knew it would be such a powerful symbol and they were right." Mr Lees took aim at NSW Premier Chris Minns's comments earlier in the week that there would be chaos. "There was nothing of the sort, there was a beautiful, peaceful mass protest without any incidents. "The protest was so big that yes we had to manage how people dispersed at the end but this was done in a very safe and happy way. "Everyone left in a calm fashion, feeling proud of what they've done today, emboldened to keep fighting for Palestine, that's what today was." The Palestine Action Group is working towards a national day of action scheduled for August 24.

Negative gearing reform is back on the agenda, but younger voters now hold the power
It's time to put the 2019 election to bed, along with the messages we pretend were sent from voters from that disastrous campaign for Labor. It has been six years since Labor leader Bill Shorten took what were quite radical proposals to the voting public, including negative gearing reforms. Since that election, Australia has changed profoundly. We have endured a global pandemic with consequences we are only beginning to realise, and an acute housing crisis that has changed us. We have seen the biggest change to the demographics of the dominant voting bloc, with millennials and Gen Z now being the largest voting group in Australia, outnumbering boomers. By the next election, that shift will be even more profound. Voters younger than their mid-40s are consistently telling pollsters they believe the system is stacked against them. They have made it crystal clear they are hungry for change. The treasurer's productivity roundtable has now morphed into something much broader than simply delivering productivity reforms, and this is both worrying and exciting some stakeholders. Some in business circles believe it is increasingly being used to push for higher taxes. Those who want the tax conversation say it's about more effective taxes. Even fairer taxes. Remember fairness? Senior government sources strongly contest that this is an excuse to raise taxes. They say they are keen to cut taxes too, but need to pay for it somehow. That can't be from spending cuts alone. A reconfiguration of that tax system is the only answer. The Australian Council of Trade Unions yesterday declared they will use the productivity platform to call for bold reform to negative gearing and the capital gains tax at the government's productivity roundtable this month, proposing that the tax breaks be limited to one investment property. Sally McManus, the union's secretary, told Insiders the current arrangements should continue for five years, but after that date, "we've got to bite the bullet". "Otherwise, we're just saying 'too bad, young people, you're not going to be able to ever own a home,'" she said. "Since 2019, the problem has just gotten worse. It's going to continue to get worse unless the government is brave enough to do something about it." When it was in opposition, Labor took negative gearing reforms to the 2016 and 2019 federal elections, at which they were defeated. But they were defeated for a myriad of reasons. Their tax policies were only part of the story of that defeat. The ACTU's manifesto for reform will be resisted by some quarters, but their proposals achieve one important thing. They have restarted a conversation that Australians have said they want their leaders to be having. The tax burden is not being shared fairly, and governments that continue to ignore this reality risk losing the trust of younger voters who are hungry for reform. At the same time, the Productivity Commission has called for a 20 per cent tax rate on profits for companies with revenue of up to $1 billion. The commission also called for a new 5 per cent tax on net cashflow rather than profits, which could see some large companies pay a higher rate but would provide immediate tax relief for smaller companies seeking to build their capital. Already, this is being fiercely resisted by the big end of town. But it's time to involve a wider range of Australians from across the tax scale to have an input on what is fair and what is just. Perhaps the proposal won't work — who knows — but we should ventilate big and radical ideas, and we should applaud the Productivity Commission for thinking radically and creatively. Returning to the negative gearing conversation, you'll recall this was a scare campaign Peter Dutton unsuccessfully tried to inject into the May campaign. At the time, it forced Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Treasurer Jim Chalmers to deny that Labor was preparing to make changes to negative gearing. The issue re-emerged during the leaders' debate on the ABC, when Mr Albanese said he had not commissioned Treasury modelling on the potential economic impact of changes to the policy. His response prompted Opposition Leader Peter Dutton to laugh and accuse him of lying. Reports first emerged last year that the federal Treasury had investigated a potential overhaul of the tax concessions awarded to property owners. "It certainly wasn't commissioned by us to do so," the PM said when asked during the second debate about the Treasury modelling. But Treasurer Jim Chalmers had publicly stated back in September that he had asked Treasury for "advice" about the subject, leading Dutton to claim in the debate that Albanese had a "problem with the truth". Chalmers then tried to draw a difference between that advice and "modelling". "I've said on a number of occasions now that I sought a view," the treasurer said. "Now that's different to commissioning modelling. The prime minister was asked about commissioning modelling. I sought a view." Chalmers said it was "normal practice" to seek advice on such a matter and that the Treasury's view was a change to negative gearing "wouldn't get the sort of improvement that we desperately need to see in our economy when it comes to supply". One thing is clear: the treasurer wants this debate. Whether the PM would be willing to champion this change is another matter. We do, however, have one precedent worth remembering. The PM was deeply resistant to changing the stage 3 tax cuts until the case had been made with the public, and then suddenly, he was into it. I suspect the same thing would occur on some of the bigger reform ideas. Kos Samaras, director at the political consultancy firm Redbridge, said there are profound generational shifts between the 2019 and 2025 elections. In 2019, Millennials and Gen Z made up just 26 per cent of the electoral roll, whilst Baby Boomers and older Australians still held sway, culturally and politically. But that was the last election where the latter group's decades-long dominance would be felt. "By May 2025, Millennials and Gen Z accounted for 42 per cent of enrolled voters, a generational bloc shaped by vastly different life experiences," he tells this column. "This is the first cohort since the Great Depression to believe their quality of life is worse than that of their parents. "They've come of age amid a housing crisis, climate anxiety, a global pandemic, inflation shocks, and broken career promises. "At the next federal election, this generational tide will become even more pronounced. "Millennials and Gen Z will be the most dominant voting bloc in the country, while Baby Boomers and older Australians will comprise just 27 per cent of the roll. "Hence, the ACTU-proposed negative gearing changes will resonate with younger Australians, and it would be a brave politician to ignore such a proposal." Over to you.
