Tasmania’s Premier Jeremy Rockliff has opted not to appoint a replacement for ousted minister Madeleine Ogilvie, instead redistributing her key portfolios—arts, environment, science, and digital innovation—across the remaining cabinet. Ogilvie stepped down after admitting she misstated her involvement in Supreme Court proceedings, calling her answer “poor” and wanting to avoid distracting the government. With four years in cabinet and a history as an independent and Labor MP, her exit leaves the cabinet at ten members. Rockliff himself won’t take on any of her duties, signaling a move toward a leaner, more streamlined government as ministers adjust to manage the absorbed responsibilities.
