In short:

Tasmanian Opposition Leader Dean Winter has tabled a no-confidence motion in Premier Jeremy Rockliff.

Mr Winter says the motion is a response to last Thursday’s state budget, and the bungled Spirit of Tasmania ferry replacement project.

What’s next?

Mr Winter says he’ll move the no-confidence motion if enough crossbenchers indicate they will support it. If a motion of no-confidence is passed in a premier, convention dictates they should resign.
