Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff admits he failed to follow up on troubling claims against former minister Madeleine Ogilvie, who allegedly misled parliament about her legal involvement. Rockliff says he was overwhelmed and missed the red flags until May, after hearing her parliamentary response. Ogilvie resigned her portfolios amid the fallout, and now Rockliff faces mounting pressure from opposition and independents demanding transparency on taxpayer-funded legal fees for Ogilvie and two other Liberals. He calls the situation a “pile of crap” he must clean up, vowing to repay any illegal fees if wrongdoing is confirmed — while acknowledging his regret and apologizing for not digging deeper sooner.
