Rebecca White tight-lipped on remaining Labor leader if unsuccessful at Tasmania election01/05/2021|5min Tasmania's Opposition Leader Rebecca White has remained tight-lipped on whether she will remain the leader of the Labor Party if unsuccessful for a second time at the state election on Saturday. "I'm campaigning to win. My focus is on winning... I'm not contemplating what happens... except a Labor victory," she said. Ms White, along with Premier Peter Gutwein, refused to lead in a minority government. Meanwhile, Mr Gutwein has been buoyed by the popularity of his strong COVID-19 policies, Tasmania being the first state to close borders when the pandemic reached Australia, prompting the premier to call a snap election 12 months early.
