Tasmanian Education Minister Sarah Courtney has resigned from politics after the opposition harshly criticised her for holidaying in France during the state’s preparations for students to return to schools.

Courtney, who was the health minister for Tasmania when the COVID-19 pandemic started said she wanted to have more family time after experiencing an exhausting few years.
