Tasmanian Opposition Leader Rebecca White, who has led the state’s Labor party to two election losses, on Saturday announced that she’s stepping down.

“There’s no doubt that after the election last week we needed to reflect on what had occurred and I see the change in leadership for the state parliamentary Labor Party as a part of the change that’s necessary ... so we can become more competitive to win the next election,” she said.
