Information: - The Premier of Tasmania is the head of the executive government in the Australian state of Tasmania. By convention, the party or political grouping which has majority support in the House of Assembly will nominate its leader to be Premier. The nominated politician is then invited by the Governor of Tasmania to act as their principal adviser. - A parliamentary system is a system of democratic governance of a state where the executive branch derives its democratic legitimacy from the legislature (parliament) and is also held accountable to that legislature. In a parliamentary system, the head of state is normally a different person from the head of government. This is in contrast to a presidential system in a democracy, where the head of state often is also the head of government, and most importantly, the executive branch does not derive its democratic legitimacy from the legislature. - Paul Anthony Lennon (born 8 October 1955) is an Australian Labor Party politician. He was Premier of Tasmania from 21 March 2004 until his resignation on 26 May 2008. He was member of the Tasmanian House of Assembly for the seat of Franklin from 1990 until officially resigning on 27 May 2008. He left office abruptly after his preferred premier rating fell to 17%, largely as a result of perceptions of corruption in his government's fast-tracked approval of the Gunns Bell Bay Pulp Mill proposal, which had effectively bypassed normal planning procedure. - An election for the House of Assembly ( lower house ) was held in the Australian state of Tasmania on 18 March 2006 , the same day as the South Australian elections . The Labor Party led by Premier Paul Lennon , won a third successive majority government term in office , despite predictions the election would result in a minority government . Although there was a small swing against Labor , they finished with 14 seats , and there were no changes in the party composition of the assembly . The Liberal Party led by Rene Hidding gained a small swing and finished with seven seats . The Tasmanian Greens led by Peg Putt suffered a small swing and finished with four seats ; meaning no change in seat representation since the last election . Had the Greens lost one of their four seats , they would have lost their status as a major party and would lose financial resources , offices and support staff . Minor parties such as the Australian Democrats and the Family First Party did not contest the election . The Tasmania First Party , the Socialist Alliance and the Christian Democratic Party ( who stood as grouped independents ) polled poorly . A total of 95 candidates ( 65 men and 30 women ) nominated for election : 27 from Labor , 25 from the Liberals and Greens , four from Tasmania First , two from Socialist Alliance and 12 independents . This was the first time Paul Lennon had run for election as Premier , after the resignation of Tasmanian Labor leader Jim Bacon in 2004 due to lung cancer . On the day the election results were finalised , the Liberals installed Will Hodgman as their new leader and Jeremy Rockliff as deputy leader . Mr Hodgman said the Liberals were disappointed with their result . - Marinus Theodoor "Rene" Hidding (born 5 February 1953) is an Australian politician. He is currently a Liberal Party member for the Division of Lyons in the Tasmanian House of Assembly. From 2002 until 2006 he was also leader of the Liberal Party and Leader of the Opposition in Tasmania. - A minority government, or minority cabinet or minority parliament, is a cabinet formed in a parliamentary system when a political party or coalition of parties does not have a majority of overall seats in the parliament. It is sworn into office, with or without the formal support of other parties, to enable a government to be formed. Under such a government, legislation can only be passed with the support of enough other members of the legislature to provide a majority, encouraging multi-partisanship. In bicameral parliaments, the term relates to the situation in chamber whose confidence is considered most crucial to the continuance in office of the government.
