His portfolio experienced some changes during 1992 when John Fahey became Premier. It was during Fahey's early months as Premier that Pickering was shifted from Police to Justice after a breakdown in relations between Pickering and police commissioner Tony Lauer. Pickering however lasted in the Justice portfolio for a month when he resigned.
In 1994 he returned to Cabinet in a Cabinet reshuffle and was appointed Minister for Energy and Local Government. Ironically the reshuffle was caused by the resignation of Terry Griffiths his replacement as Police Minister.
