00:00Facing cameras and standing firm, Dean Winter and Labor aren't conceding.
00:07No one party was able to secure 18 seats, which means that no one party has a mandate to govern.
00:14Mr Winter is maintaining Jeremy Rockliffe can have the first attempt at forming government.
00:19But he's also still courting the support of the crossbench, including the Greens.
00:24I'm not asking anyone to compromise on their values or beliefs.
00:28I'm asking people to work together and there's a lot more that we agree on that we disagree on.
00:32The Labor Party got the worst vote they've ever had, I mean in over a century.
00:39He should be honourable, he should concede and he should let us get on with the job.
00:43The Liberals turning up the volume on their calls for Labor to back off.
00:48He said he would not do a deal with the Greens, he can only be in government with a deal with the Greens.

00:56What we would like to do is build on what we had in the last parliament.
01:01The parliament was working well.
01:03Who eventually holds government will be up to the crossbenchers though.
01:06Three of them releasing a joint statement today saying no one party has a mandate.
01:12That they expect negotiations to take weeks.
01:15And warning that they won't be pressured or railroaded by either side.
01:20Re-elected Franklin MP David O'Byrne says it's a power that must be wielded wisely.
01:26Urging his fellow independents to respect the major parties.
01:3070% of the people in Tasmania voted for one of the three major parties.
01:34They have legitimacy at the table as well.
01:36And if you come to the table with demands and take it or leave it.
01:39Then we're back in an election.
01:41And nobody wants that.
01:46formula for that.
01:47Then we must be able to do something.
01:49So we will now be able to get the New Year's further.
01:50Then we have to do something about going forward.
01:52Unless we have to plan to carry out something.
01:55And if we do something about that, we'll be able to do something.
01:58And that's going to be able to do something.
01:59If you have to take it or not, we'll do something about that.
