Intervention by the ALP Nation Executive on Tuesday to sack embattled state president Ben McGregor and postpone the party's state conference is just more of the same dysfunction Tasmanians have come to expect from Labor. A once proud party that represented hard working people and had strong values seems to have lost its gloss.

Delaying the state conference is a sign national executive doesn't trust Tasmania's rank and file or Parliamentary members to behave themselves on the public stage; nor does it want more dirty laundry hung out to dry on the eve of a federal election campaign.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison must call an election before the end of May and Bass, Braddon and Lyons will again be crucial battlegrounds. All three electorates were tight in 2019 with Bass Liberal MHR Bridget Archer and Braddon colleague Gavin Pearce were key cogs in the Morrison Miracle.

Ms Archer will again face former Labor MHR Ross Hart, Mr Pearce will battle Burine councillor Chris Lynch and Lyons Labor MHR Brian Mitchell will look ward off any challenge from Liberal candidate Susie Bower. The South is all Labor's and stalwart Liberal Eric Abetz will fight for survival in the Senate race in what is likely to be the only seat up for grabs.

So it is easy to see why Labor's national honchos, Tasmanian candidates and federal leader Anthony Albanese don't want more horror circus sideshows. Yet it seems state leader Rebecca White - the party's shining light in a dark room - is always the only one to stand up and publicly address matters.

That is of course her job, but the the faceless power brokers don't return calls, or answer emails and run for the hills when the going gets tough. Apparently undefined changes are afoot to rebuild the train wreck, but they won't come quick enough for federal ALP parliamentarians to avoid campaign trail questions about their struggling state counterparts. There are far too many unanswered questions for that.

Tasmanians aren't satisfied.
