The Tasmanian Government extends our sincere condolences to Premier Jeremy Rockliff and his family following the sad passing of his father Rick Rockliff.
Acting Premier, Michael Ferguson, said that Premier Jeremy Rockliff will take a short period of leave to mourn the loss of his father and be with his family.
“Jeremy, together with his mother Gerry, and the extended Rockliff family are all in our thoughts and prayers at this time.
“Mr Rockliff has been a tower of strength for the north west community for many decades and was a much loved husband, father, grandfather, farmer, and community member.
“Rick shared with me on the day of Jeremy's swearing in as Premier how proud he was of his son.”
Vale Rick Rockliff.
