The Liberals won 14 seats in Tasmania’s most recent state election, which was enough to lead the parliament but not enough for a majority. They were still short of the 18 seats needed to govern outright.

Seat breakdown

  • Liberals: 14
  • Labor: 10
  • Greens: 5
  • Jacqui Lambie Network: 3
  • Independents: 3

What that meant

Tasmania ended up with a hung parliament , so the Liberals could claim the largest share of seats without having a majority on their own. That usually means negotiations with crossbench MPs are needed to form government.

TL;DR: The Liberals won 14 seats in Tasmania.
