Labor candidates are being drip-fed out in a ploy to distract Tasmanians from the fact that they can't convince anyone to run for them.
It follows the announcement of an ambitious union leader who was investigated for breaching party rules and is already rumoured to be angling for Mr Winter's job.
Candidates are fleeing Mr Winter's desperate grab for power, and only those with their own leadership ambitions seem willing to stand.
Dean Winter forced this election for one reason - himself.
He forced it because Labor couldn't hold itself together, and now they want you to hand them a promotion.
But what does Dean Winter stand for? No one can say. What we do know is they'll need the Greens to govern, and that means more deals, more delays, more politics.
While Labor plays games, Jeremy Rockliff and the Liberals are focused on one thing: delivering their plan for Tasmanian families.
You can't build a future on division and political games.
And you can't trust a bloke who puts himself and the Labor party before Tasmania.
Winter's gamble on Tasmania's future seems more of a gamble on his own leadership by the day.
