Peter Gutwein faces series of questions over the Liberals' infrastructure record on first day of Parliament for 2020

Labor leader Rebecca White directed multiple questions to Premier Peter Gutwein about recent delays in the delivery of the new Spirits of Tasmania and the Royal Hobart Hospital's K-Block.

"Your failure to deliver major infrastructure projects has left your government a laughing stock," Ms White said.

"The infrastructure portfolio has received Michael Ferguson's trademark kiss of death."

Mr Gutwein rejected Labor's assertions regarding the state's infrastructure record and defended Infrastructure Minister Mr Ferguson as a hard-working member of Parliament.

"The infrastructure spending by this government was 230 per cent higher [than] it was just six years ago under the Labor-Green government," Mr Gutwein said.

"It terms of infrastructure we are getting on with the job."

Mr Gutwein's defence of the state's infrastructure record sparked fiery debate with Speaker Sue Hickey threatening to eject members if they did not calm down.

"We are all going to take a deep breath. We are going to remember why we are here," Ms Hickey said.

Greens leader Cassy O'Connor questioned when Mr Gutwein first became aware of a Worksafe prohibition notice issued to the Bob Brown Foundation, ordering them to cease forest protests, which was mutually set aside in the Magistrates Court last week.

The Greens have referred Resources Minister Guy Barnett and Attorney-General Elise Archer to the Integrity Commission over alleged misconduct in relation to the notice.

Mr Gutwein reiterated the government had nothing to do with the notice.

Clark independent MHA Madeleine Ogilvie questioned what the government was doing in the wake of economic uncertainty due to the coronavirus outbreak to maximise other trade opportunities, such as with the United Kingdom post-Brexit.

Trade Minister Jeremy Rockliff said the state was watching developments related to coronavirus carefully.

"The Department [of State Growth] is engaged with peak bodies to understand current and future ramifications on trade," Mr Rockliff said.

Mr Rockliff said the Tasmanian government would continue to work with the Commonwealth to unlock free trade agreement opportunities with the European Union and the United Kingdom.

"We have progressed objectives in our trade strategy to support focused engagement with the EU and the UK with Tasmanian businesses," he said.

Prior to Question Time, all parties paid tribute to Queenstown miner Cameron Goss who died at the Henty Gold Mine earlier this year.

Mr Goss, 44, died after a section of the mine collapsed on January 23.

Mr Barnett, Braddon Labor MHA Shane Broad and Franklin Greens MHA Rosalie Woodruff will represent their respective parties at Mr Goss' funeral on Tuesday.

The Parliament also introduced the new member for Franklin, Liberal MHA Nic Street, who replaced former premier Will Hodgman.
