Kjell Olav Opseth (2 January 1936 – 3 December 2017) was a Norwegian politician for the Labour Party. He was Minister of Transport and Communications 1990–1996 and Minister of Local Government Affairs 1996–1997.[2] As Transport Minister, he once observed of advertising hoardings featuring model Anna Nicole Smith that "on her own [she] is not a traffic hazard. It depends where she is."[3]
