The Apple Isle is heading to the polls today to decide who will lead the state for the next four years.
Polls opened at 8am after Liberal Premier Jeremy Rockliff called the early election following the defection of two of his MPs – John Tucker and Lara Alexander – who quit the party to move to the crossbench 10 months ago, pushing the government into minority rule.
"What the polls say is the Liberal party is the only party within striking distance of majority government," he said yesterday. " between a tired, decade-old Liberal government that is focused on the wrong priorities. Or a Labor government that is ready to take urgent action to ease the cost of living, repair the health system and get more people into affordable housing," she said.
