Labor Party faces a major blow, set to lose power in its last state of South Australia after the Liberals claim victory in Tasmania. Nine News.
Winning Liberal leader Will Hodgman claimed an emphatic mandate for change in the Tasmanian election after his party was swept to majority government.
Mr Hodgman appeared to have taken up to 14 seats in the 25 seat House of Assembly as Labor and Green votes fell away, according to election analysts.
"We will be decisive and we will not, we will not, adopt a business as usual approach," Mr Hodgman told cheering supporters in the Hobart tally room on Saturday night.

Liberals claim victory in Tasmanian state election
Tasmanian Premier Will Hodgman says his party is ending the year on a high after nine months in government.
While cuts to education and the public sector drew heavy criticism from some in the community, the Tasmanian Liberals had plenty to celebrate in 2014.
Mr Hodgman led the Liberals to power after 16 years in opposition and played host to the leader of the world's largest economy, president Xi Jinping of China.
But he said the fact that Tasmania had shown signs of economic growth was the standout achievement.
"I think that's been the highlight for the whole year," he said.
"Tasmania's economy starting to grow again."
It has not all been smooth sailing, though.
Treasurer Peter Gutwein failed to deliver the key savings measure in the Liberal's first budget: a public sector pay freeze.
Instead, 861 full-time positions will be cut from the public service workforce by June.
Mr Hodgman refused to give an update on the progress of the cuts.

Tony Abbott has declared that his governments disappointing result in the WA Senate election will only increase his resolve to scrap the carbon and mining taxes.
The Prime Minister has also described the dive in support for the Liberal Party at Saturdays Senate election re-run as a typical by-election result.
Primary votes for the Liberal and Labor parties have dropped about 5 per cent in the count thus far, while the Greens have picked up a swing of about 6 per cent.
Clive Palmers Palmer United Party, which outspent the Liberal Party by nearly 10 to one on television advertising, gained a swing of about 7.5 per cent.

The rerun will give the Liberals two seats and Labors controversial Senate candidate Joe Bullock has won a seat.
The swing to the Greens is expected to see Scott Ludlam retain his seat, with the Palmer United Party, Labors Louise Pratt and Liberal Linda Reynolds fighting it out for the fifth and six seats.
The ABCs election analyst Antony Green has predicted PUP candidate Dio Wang and Ms Reynolds will claim the final two spots. On this result, the government would need to negotiate with Mr Palmers party in order to pass its legislation in the Senate.
Speaking to reporters in Tokyo, where the government is negotiating a free trade agreement, Mr Abbott said there was nothing in Saturdays vote to suggest that the voters have suddenly decided they love the carbon or mining tax.
Asked if he would move for a double dissolution on the carbon tax, Mr Abbott said he expected the new Senate from July 1 to respect the governments mandate.
