… It was after Mr Ferguson complimented fellow candidates on a clean campaign and urged clean politics that Mr Parish threw insults in Mr Booth’s direction.
A nervous Mr Parish incorrectly called Mr Booth, Tim Morris.
“Mr Morris harped on about the pulp mill … if he wants to be part of a government that revokes the pulp mill permits it is going to cost Tasmania a lot of money … Mr Morris sounds like a cracked record,” Mr Parish said.
Mr Booth interjected to correct his name.
Labor’s Brant Webb was conciliatory thanking his supporters, congratulating the winners and hoping for another shot at Bass in the future.
Mr Ferguson said his future does not hold the health portfolio. He also urged Tasmanians to remove the bumper sticker that calls Tasmania the state of corruption.
