Braddon MPs Roger Jaensch and Felix Ellis will have more ministerial responsibilities as part of the new cabinet announced by Premier Jeremy Rockliff yesterday.

The re-shuffle was brought on by the resignation last week of both Deputy Premier Michael Ferguson and Sports Minister Nic Street.

Mr Ellis has taken on consumer affairs in addition to his existing portfolios of housing, planning, skills and training.

Mr Jaensch, who is Minister for children and youth, community services, and Aboriginal affairs, will add mental health and well-being, as well as finance to his responsibilities.

Mr Rocklliff, also a Braddon MP, will retain the tourism, trade and major investment portfolios.

In announcing the new cabinet, Mr Rockliff scoffed at Labor suggestions his Government lacked depth and experience.
