228: Being married to Tasmania’s Premier is the least interesting thing about Sandra Knowles


Listen Later

Sandra Knowles is the wife of Tasmania’s Premier, Jeremy Rockliff. But that fact is the least interesting thing about Sandra. Her career has spanned law, postings overseas working in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, helping run the family farm and now, as the Director of Tasmania’s Farm Innovation Hub. On top of all of that, Sandra raised 3 daughters on the land, born within 4 years of each other, while her husband was away... a lot. It’s been quite the adventure, and not always easy. Today, Sandra joins me to discuss her incredible career, the pluses and minuses of being married to the Premier, raising young women, and possibly the best love story I’ve ever heard. She may be the wife of Tasmania’s Premier, but Sandra Knowles has always done her own thing. This is her story.
