Jeremy Rockliff was not interested when the role of Premier was offered to him two years ago.
What has changed?
Mr Rockliff's only motivation now appears to be to stop Michael Ferguson becoming Premier. As bad as Michael Ferguson would be, factional jostling is not the right reason to want to lead our state.
If Peter Gutwein's tank was empty, Jeremy Rockliff's running on his reserve tank.
It is an open secret Jeremy Rockliff has been planning his retirement and won't run at the next state election. He had to be convinced to run last year.
Jeremy Rockliff failed as Education Minister. He delivered NAPLAN results that went backwards across almost every measure in almost every cohort. Tasmanian students performed worse in 2021 than they did in 2008.
As Health Minister for almost a year, the waiting list for elective surgery remains untenable with thousands of Tasmanians waiting for necessary surgery.
