Tasmania's sacked Greens ministers have begun packing up their government offices and moving out.
Greens leader Nick McKim and colleague Cassy O'Connor were stripped of their portfolios by Labor premier Lara Giddings on Thursday as the state went into election mode.
Ms Giddings announced March 15 as the date of the state election and pledged no power-sharing deals with the Greens.
Labor members have been sworn in to replace the pair, who were moving to Greens HQ in Hobart on Friday after being asked to pack up as soon as possible.
"We've already started moving out and we'll be out shortly," Mr McKim told reporters in Hobart.

Labor MPs Craig Farrell and Rebecca White were sworn in with less than two months to serve in their new jobs before the poll.
Mr Farrell will take on Mr McKim's former role as minister for corrections, consumer protection and sustainable transport.
Ms White takes on Ms O'Connor's human services minister portfolio.
Mr McKim's education responsibilities pass to Attorney-General Brian Wightman.
Ms Giddings said the short period of their appointment would not "diminish their abilities."
"In fact, it is an added challenge to get up to speed and provide necessary leadership in a relatively short space of time," the premier said in a statement.
Mr McKim said the country's first Greens ministers left their portfolios in better shape than they inherited them.
The former education minister said the major reforms they had sought had largely been achieved, including better NAPLAN results and the rollout of the National Disabilities Insurance Scheme in Tasmania.
"We go out with our heads held high," Mr McKim said.
Opposition leader Will Hodgman has described the Labor-Greens split as a "fake divorce".
"It is pretty tricky when the premier says she would not rule out trading policies to form a new government," he said.
Mr McKim said the Greens would be open to another power-sharing agreement with either major party.
"We extend the arm and the hand of cooperation to anyone who's elected to the Tasmanian parliament," he said.
