The premiership of Jeremy Rockliff (also referred to as the Rockliff administration) began on 8 April 2022, when he was sworn in as Premier of Tasmania by Governor Barbara Baker following the resignation of his predecessor, Peter Gutwein. Rockliff previously served as deputy premier under the Hodgman and Gutwein governments.
On 5 June 2025, a motion of no confidence against him passed the parliament. He then announced that he would visit the governor Barbara Baker requesting a snap election, which was then called for 19 July 2025.
At the 2025 Tasmanian state election, Rockliff's Liberal party won 14 seats. 2025 Tasmanian government formation negotiations proved unsuccessful. Despite ongoing negotiations at the time, Governor Baker recommissioned Rockliff's government pending parliamentary confidence which was to be tested when the parliament returns. The Third Rockliff ministry was sworn in on 7 August 2025. Upon the return of parliament, a multi-hour debate ensued as to the house's confidence in Rockliff as premier. At the division vote on the matter, Rockliff was supported by every member of parliament except for those within the Labor party, finishing with a vote of 24-10.
