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.
