Statement on Sue Hickey

Peter Gutwein,Premier

I have met with Ms Hickey today to discuss preselection.

I informed her that there is not support across the wider party for her to be endorsed as a Liberal candidate for the next election and that is a view that I share.

A Government needs to operate as a strong team and I believe that each Liberal Government member must work as part of that team to serve the people of Tasmania whilst upholding the values, principles and policies of the Liberal party.

Our clear plan for the State is working and my focus remains firmly fixed on securing Tasmania's future.
