As Education Minister, in December 2000, she launched "Learning Together", a major policy on education, training and information provision for the state of Tasmania.

Learning Together promised a complete overhaul of the state's education system, introducing the Essential Learnings Curriculum as a trial way to assess and teach students.

Wriedt also funded the establishment of a number of child care centres co-located with government primary schools, and saw the raising of Tasmania's school leaving age from 16 to 17 years.

Following a cabinet reshuffle in January 2008, Wriedt was appointed Minister for Economic Development and Tourism.

Wriedt described the remark as "stupid and inappropriate", and Newman apologised the following day.

Premier David Bartlett announced that she would require a period of treatment and recuperation, and that he would be temporarily handling Wriedt's ministerial duties.
