The resignation of Premier Peter Gutwein is symbolic of a chaotic government in disarray.
Following the resignations of Adam Brooks and Sarah Courtney, the Premier's sudden announcement that he is quitting shows a government that has imploded.
The resignation also follows multiple Cabinet reshuffles with the resignations of Ms Courtney and former Minister Jane Howlett.
The wheels have well and truly fallen off a Liberal Government that promised Tasmanians stability at the state election and since has delivered anything but.
Tasmanians are now faced with the prospect of former failed Health Minister and non-delivering Infrastructure Minister Michael Ferguson taking over the Premiership.
It was only two years ago after the resignation of Will Hodgman that we saw the factional in-fighting among the Liberals for the top job and now Tasmanians can expect more of the same.
This is not the stable government Tasmanians were promised - it is a rabble.
The sudden resignation of the Premier has also thrown the business of government into chaos with the cancellation of Parliament next week.
