Tasmanian crossbenchers, including Greens and independents, are demanding transparency from Premier Jeremy Rockliff over alleged parliamentary deception by former minister Madeleine Ogilvie. Ogilvie claimed she wasn’t involved in any court action for 18 months, but later admitted she had initiated legal proceedings — prompting accusations she misled parliament. The crossbenchers argue Rockliff, as head of Cabinet, must have known about the legal fees — totaling $120,000 — and the potential misinformation, since only Cabinet can approve such spending. They’ve issued a 30-question ultimatum, requiring direct yes-or-no answers by Friday, or they’ll pursue further parliamentary action to hold the government accountable.
