Crucial to the Liberal’s chances of attaining a majority government is that they can deliver one new seat in each of Tasmania’s five electorates, plus one other somewhere else in the state.

Bass includes the city of Launceston council area, George Town and Dorset, it also includes Riverside, Trevallyn, Prospect, Legana and Hadspen. (Source; Tasmanian Electoral Commission)
