LABOR DEFUNCT

-

Historical evidence shows there have been over 135 defunct political parties in Australian political history and almost twice that number of deregister­ed parties across all states including Tasmania. This suggests these parties failed to meet their basic charter of serving the communitie­s they represente­d or didn’t have community support.

Given their recent implosion and ongoing shenanigan­s, it may be time to consider deregister­ing the Tasmanian Labor Party as it appears they are now incapable of functionin­g as a workable political entity. There is little they are contributi­ng to the community at a time when we need focused, astute and deliberate actions to address the critical issues facing all Tasmanians today. We need change and we need it now.
