Tasmania’s Racing Minister Jane Howlett has resigned from cabinet, citing “relentless personal and political” attacks from opposition parties as the reason.
It makes her the second minister to resign from Premier Jeremy Rockliff’s cabinet in just over two weeks.
Ms Howlett has faced mounting pressure to move to the backbench over $300,000 in taxpayer money paying her legal fees, and as of yesterday, questions over conflicting evidence about what her office knew about a breach of caretaker mode during the last election.
