THE fallout from Saturday's heated pro-mining rally continued today with the State Opposition claiming Premier Lara Giddings had been rattled by the hostile reception she received in Burnie.
Ms Giddings fired back saying Opposition Leader Will Hodgman's failure to attend the rally had been noted.
Mr Hodgman was at the Huon Show.
Mr Hodgman had asked to speak at the Australian Workers Union-organised rally but his offer had been refused, his office said today.
Braddon Liberal MHA Adam Brooks attended the rally but was not given a spot on the podium.
Before the rally, Mr Brooks said Lara Giddings was too weak to stand up to Greens colleagues and the public was now venting its frustration.
In Parliament today, Speaker Michael Polley ejected Mr Brooks from the Chamber for 24 hours during heated debate about mining in the Tarkine.
Ms Giddings said she was proud to attend the rally to demonstrate the government's commitment to the mining industry.
"We have sent a clear message to the Commonwealth that we do not support blanket National Heritage listing of the Tarkine," Ms Giddings said.
