Comment on Liberals will have difficulty forming government after final Tasmanian results

former Labor MP David O’Byrne
Is he former Labor in the way Craig Kelly was former Liberal (i.e., still going to support his former party at every turn) or the way Brisbane Councillor Nicole Johnston is former LNP (i.e., so bitter at the former party she’d do anything to spite them including siding with the opposite party)?
And which way does Garland lean? I would assume being anti-salmon-farming would align broadly with Greens views, but I’m aware environmental politics is kinda weird in Tassy.

David O’Byrne sounds like he'll still generally be Labor-leaning.
Garland sounds Green-leaning if leaning between the three largest parties, anchored mostly in environmental policy.
I haven't looked hard at either though, so if someone has more precise info feel free to swoop in.

Garland went off the deep end during covid. He’s still with the Greens on the environmental side but he’s a conspiracy cooker.
