Because 3 months of diesel averaged over 5 years (hydro fails only once every 5-10 years, not yearly) already makes that less than 100%.
Additionally, they STILL use gas today -- right now. 100% is fiction. It's not even true today.
How are you not getting this? 100% is a lie. The state government even admits as much.
"The Tasmanian state government still sees a role for gas in its plans for a big expansion in renewable energy output by 2040, after introducing legislation in the state parliament yesterday."
Tasmania has gas generators. These gas generators run TODAY. That means that there are times when they are not 100% "renewable", making the headline claim false.

So average it over the year it happened, not 5 years? This seems a pretty reasonable thing to do. (But if you do average over 5 years it would also be reasonable to include the energy exports, in which case it is well over 100%)
