Tasmania's Liberal government will face its first parliamentary sitting in minority after two MPs quit the party over concerns about contentious plans for a $715 million stadium.
Lara Alexander and John Tucker shifted to the crossbench on May 12 citing concerns with transparency surrounding the Hobart stadium project and the state's deal for an AFL team.
Parliament will resume on Tuesday, with the state's Labor opposition pledging to grill the government on aspects of the deal.
The deal between the government and the AFL was made public on Sunday.
It revealed the government would foot the bill for any stadium cost overruns and fork out $4.5m a year if the facility isn't ready to host games by the club's proposed second season in 2029.
"We will be scrutinising this throughout the parliament this week and over the budget period," Labor Opposition Leader Rebecca White said.
"There are lots of questions the premier still needs to answer."
The government will on Thursday hand down its budget, which is expected to further detail funding for the stadium.
The government has pledged $375m towards the stadium, with the federal government chipping in $240m for the stadium and broader infrastructure at the site.
Ms Alexander and Mr Tucker have pledged to vote with the government on matters of supply and confidence.
Their departure has left the Liberals with 11 of 25 lower house seats. There are nine Labor members, three independents and two Greens.
State Labor, the Greens and independents at state and federal level have campaigned against the stadium, arguing the money would be better spent on essential services.
The government has pledged to declare the stadium a project of state significance, which means it will need to be voted through both houses of parliament before it is assessed by the planning commission.
Labor has not said whether it would vote against the stadium in parliament.
Tasmania was granted an AFL licence on May 3 with an expected after a decades-long fight for entry into the competition.
The AFL says the team cannot exist without the new stadium.
