From logging backflips and racing cuts to a surprise treasurer nomination, the major Tasmanian parties have made their first moves ahead of next week's pivotal no-confidence vote.

Crossbenchers who could decide the fate of Tasmania's minority government have give mixed responses to new commitments by the Liberals and Labor.

Long-serving upper house independent Ruth Forrest has been named by Tasmanian Labor leader Dean Winter as his pick for treasurer, if the party forms government.

A no-confidence motion, an election and now another no-confidence motion. It's all been happening in Tasmanian politics, now what happens next?

Eric Abetz takes over as treasurer, while Bridget Archer is given the health portfolio, as Jeremy Rockliff reveals his cabinet picks for Tasmania's next government. 

Tasmanian politics remains extremely turbulent as Labor leader Dean Winter fights to convince the crossbench to support a fresh no-confidence motion.

Tasmania's governor reappoints Jeremy Rockliff as premier but says it will be parliament that ultimately decides whether his Liberal minority government survives.

With 10 seats, Labor's Dean Winter is still vying for power, but continues refusing discussions with the Greens. Meanwhile, Liberal Leader Jeremy Rockliff says he's about to formally ask the governor to again commission a minority Tasmanian government.

Newly elected Shooters, Fishers and Farmers MP Carlo Di Falco says gun law reform will be one of his bargaining chips when he negotiates support for Tasmania's next government.

For Tasmanians wondering when they might have a parliament in place and some certainty about who will have the support to govern, it could still be weeks off. However, the official process is already underway.
