The new Tasmanian Government has been officially sworn in at a ceremony at Government House in Hobart.
The Liberal government will continue to be lead by Jeremy Rockliff as Premier, while Michael Ferguson will stay on as his Deputy Leader.
House of Assembly newcomer Eric Abetz has been appointed Leader of the House, Minister for Business, Industry and Resources
and Minister for Transport.
New MP Jane Howlett will become the Minister for Primary Industries and Water, as well as the Minister for Racing, a portfolio she has previously held.
Deputy Premier Michael Ferguson will stay on as Treasurer, Guy Barnett as Attorney-General and Minister for Health and Felix Ellis as Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Management.
Jo Palmer has taken on the Education Ministry, with Jeremy Rockliff now responsible for Trade and Hospitality, handing Mental Health to Barnett.
“Our Government will deliver on our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future and this new Ministry reflects a strong and experienced team whose mission will be to deliver the agenda that we took to the Tasmanian people,” Rockliff said.
“We will embrace the opportunity to work collaboratively and bring the Tasmanian people along with us on this journey.”
