ANALYSIS: Tasmania's new Education Minister to face tough crowd when parliament resumes
Nic Street played a straight bat at the press conference announcing his elevation to cabinet, insisting he didn't feel he'd been overlooked for ministerial responsibilities in the past five or so years.
He lost the seat at the 2018 state election but returned, again on a recount, after former premier Will Hodgman's shock departure in 2020.After some time as an adviser in the office of cabinet minister Jacquie Petrusma, as well as a tilt at the upper house seat of Nelson and a win in the House of Assembly, he has finally attained a cabinet role himself.
Roger Jaensch faces a tougher crowd: Both Labor and the Greens expressed alarm over his return to the portfolio of Children and Youth, which has been combined with his new job, Education.
