Australia's remaining Liberal government is hanging by a thread, with Tasmania's attorney-general quitting her position and parliament.
Senior MP Elise Archer announced her departure from both the party and politics on Friday afternoon.
"It has been my deep honour and privilege to serve my constituents in Clark and the people of Tasmania as attorney-general and in all my portfolios," she said in a statement.
"It is also my intention to notify her excellency of my resignation from the parliament of Tasmania as a member for Clark."
It was revealed on Thursday night Ms Archer was facing an independent investigation into workplace bullying allegations.
Tasmania's government has been in minority since May, when two MPs quit the party to become independents.
