Mr Ferguson, however, will attempt to pursue the government’s law and order agenda, and introduce legislation to enable evidence gathered on body-worn cameras by police officers to be admissible in court.
Some officers in Hobart have started wearing the equipment and the $3 million project will soon roll out statewide.
The lower house will also debate government legislation to ban members from outlaw motorcycle gangs from wearing insignia in public places.
"This is the first stage of our legislative reform to get rid of outlaw motorcycle gangs from Tasmania," he said.
"We have got a problem here in our state and it's a problem that needs to be resolved.
“Unfortunately, Tasmania is seen as a safe haven for outlaw motorcycle gangs.”
Mr Ferguson said the government would introduce consorting legislation later in the year to further crack down on gang activity.
Mr Ferguson will have to continue to fend off claims that he disclosed to Cricket Tasmania chief executive Nick Cummins that the organisation’s former government relations officer, Angela Williamson, had proceeded with a surgical abortion earlier this year.
Ms Williamson was sacked from her job after a series of tweets on the government’s failure to provide appropriate abortion services in the state.
Mr Ferguson on Friday released a detailed statement on the matter, weeks after the allegations were first aired.
Deputy Labor Leader Michelle O’Byrne said the party would continue to push for a Code of Conduct inquiry into the matter, even though the Department of Premier and Cabinet secretary and state Solicitor-General believed an inquiry was not warranted.
She said there was no information on what advice was sought from the secretary and Solicitor-General to lead to that conclusion.
Ms O’Byrne said the Code of Conduct required ministers to behave with honesty, decency and respect.
"I don't think anyone believes that Ms Williamson has been treated that way by this government," Ms O'Byrne said.
The government’s about-face on regulatory change on firearm legislation is also set to be discussed.
Mr Ferguson said the government wanted practical improvements to the laws without impacting community protections.
"We will be reviewing our policy, together with looking at the recommendations from the (Legislative Council) inquiry," he said.
Ms O'Byrne said the inquiry was launched in order to get the government out of a difficult position, namely that its proposed changes might breach the National Firearms Agreement.
"It does bring into question whether or not Parliament's time and resources should be spent on such an inquiry," she said.
