Sacked Jacqui Lambie Network Braddon MPs Miriam Beswick (Braddon) and Rebekah Pentland (Bass) say they will continue to guarantee supply and confidence to the State Government in Parliament.
Senator Lambie has sacked the pair on Saturday afternoon, says they refused to back her call for Infrastructure Minister Michael Ferguson to be sacked, over delays to the replacement Spirit of Tasmania ships and associated port infrastructure in Devonport.
She says the pair have failed to uphold the Jacqui Lambie Network values of transparency and accountability and have squandered a golden opportunity to hold the government to account and improve Tasmania’s position.
In a joint statement issued on Sunday, Ms Beswick and Ms Pentland say they will sign a new agreement with Premier Jeremy Rockliff in coming days and make details of the agreement public once it’s finalised.
They say they are committed to providing the certainty and stability Tasmania deserves.
