THE SHOOTERS, FISHERS & FARMERS PARTY in Tasmania is in turmoil after MP Carlo Di Falco backed a billion-dollar football stadium he explicitly promised to oppose during the election.

His sudden reversal delivered the government the deciding vote and triggered the resignation of senior party figures, tearing the SFFP apart.

Supporters and volunteers who helped elect Di Falco feel betrayed, with shooters left empty-handed while he keeps his taxpayer-funded seat.

This episode highlights a deeper cultural problem that makes running a minor party difficult: politicians and candidates who are prepared to abandon commitments and put their self-interest ahead of voters and party principles.
