Hodgman Indecisive

Liberal leader Will Hodgman has shown he is incapable of making any decisions, the Treasurer Michael Aird said today.
“Mr Hodgman’s behaviour in the past week has been extraordinary and hardly becoming for a potential Premier.
“On Saturday night he declared victory for the Liberals when they had won only nine seats. The next day he denied victory.
“On Sunday he wanted to offer Cabinet positions to the Greens.
“By Monday he was forced to back down.
“Mr Hodgman then organised a meeting of Liberals in Launceston but who did he invite and who didn’t he invite?
“Why did he have the meeting – to shore up his own support?
“Was Brett Whiteley there, was Jacquie Petrusma or former police commander Tony Mulder?
“How can he meet when no-one knows who will be elected?
“It begs the question why he called the meeting.
“The Liberals must be wondering why he is leader when he dithers and vacillates all the time.
“Before the election, Mr Hodgman talked about his plans for his first 100 days in office.
“If the past few days are any guide, Tasmanians face a chaotic 100 days if he becomes Premier. That is if he lasts that long.”
