The Second Rockliff ministry is the former and second cabinet of Premier Jeremy Rockliff that was formed following the final counting of the 2024 Tasmanian state election.[1]
On 5 June 2025, a no-confidence motion in the Premier passed the parliament, with Rockliff stating he would seek a snap election.[2] The snap election resulted in a hung parliament, with Rockliff confident he will retain the support of the crossbench.[3]
This ministry was succeeded by Rockliff's incoming third ministry on 7 August 2025.[4]
