Holloway served in the Rann Labor cabinet including such positions as Attorney-General of South Australia, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, and Minister for Small Business. As Minister for Resources Development, Holloway oversaw a rapid expansion in the mining sector in South Australia. During his tenure, the number of major mining licences issued by the State Government expanded from 4 to 17.
He also oversaw a dramatic increase in spending on mining exploration.
This acknowledged his role as one of the architects of South Australia"s Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (Plan for Accelerating Exploration) program which co-funded exploration activity in the state. One result of his initiative was the discovery of the Carrapateena deposit, currently being developed by OZ Minerals.
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has since been succeeded by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe 2020 program As Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Holloway"s work resulted in the publication of the Labor government’s 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide.
Holloway announced his resignation from the Rann Labor cabinet in early 2011, before announcing in mid-2011 that he would resign from parliament altogether.
Gerry Kandelaars was appointed as his replacement on 13 September 2011. Since leaving Parliament, Holloway has accepted positions on a number of boards. Appointments and positions include:
Woomera Protected Area Advisory Board - Deputy Chair (2012–present)
