TAS:Premier's legal-saga reply paints a 'far worse picture'

Tasmania's premier could face parliamentary repercussions over a court costs saga involving a former minister, with his answers to questions painting a "far worse picture".

Madeleine Ogilvie resigned from cabinet on May 30 amid accusations she misled parliament over her launch of Supreme Court legal action.

Ms Ogilvie in November told a parliamentary committee she was not involved in any court proceedings, but on May 28 revealed she was the plaintiff in a matter.

The government has not given any details about the case, prompting accusations of a cover-up, but has disclosed Ms Ogilvie spent $120,000 of taxpayer money on legal funds over years.

Mr Rockliff, who governs in minority, provided answers to 20 questions in response to a letter from the Greens and three independents.
