THE state Labor Party is working through some issues but would emerge as a stronger organisation, parliamentary leader Rebecca White says.

A Tasmanian Labor branch in Launceston has passed a motion backing David O'Byrne's right to a position in the Labor caucus with the secretary claiming that calls for his resignation from Parliament – a position leader Rebecca White maintains – are "excessive".

Labor appears no closer to resolving the David O'Byrne matter after two caucus meetings, the intervention of two former premiers, an ultimatum from the leader and a defence of its processes from the state secretary.

Tasmanian Labor MP and former party leader David O'Byrne says he will not resign from Parliament or the party, despite calls for him to go from Rebecca White and two former premiers.

Labor says next week's budget needs to acknowledge the role the state's education system played towards the state's economic prosperity and receive the required funding to flourish. Labor's education spokesman Josh Willie on Monday said education could be the game changer the state needed.

That's where the Tasmanian Labor Party finds itself after a nightmare start to 2021. The Examiner wrote on election night that Labor must do more to resonate with its base and overcome strong competition from the Greens and independents if it is going to prevent another loss in 2025.
