TASMANIA'S Liberals have left open the possibility of a deal with the Greens, who wield the balance of power, as the state's future government remains in doubt.

Labor and Liberal powerbrokers yesterday paused to take stock ahead of a likely 10-10-5 split in the House of Assembly following the state election.

This is probably as much as anything a result of the continued construction of a wood chipping mill against the majority opinion, with strong support from both state and federal Labour.  It seems that the Labour party has become corrupt in the last few years, with even Peter Garrett (midnight oil, Bruce's favourite) supporting this destructive and unnecessary mill.
