Nick Staikos MP set to join Victorian Premier’s Cabinet

·

Member for Bentleigh, Nick Staikos, has announced today that he is set to become the newest addition to Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan’s cabinet.

Staikos will fill the vacancy left by the departure of Treasurer Tim Pallas, with an official announcement expected in the coming days as part of Allan’s broader ministry reshuffle.

Staikos’ appointment was unopposed, with Labor’s Left-aligned National Union of Workers faction—to which Staikos belongs—supporting his move into the ministry.

Staikos’ career background includes a stint at ANZ Bank while he was a student at Monash University. Since graduating, he has primarily worked for various state and federal politicians and served as a councillor for Glen Eira City before entering state politics.

In a post on Facebook, Staikos thanked the Bentleigh electorate community for their support.

“I am East Bentleigh born and bred. That’s why it has always been the greatest honour of my life that our community has chosen me at three elections to be our representative in the State Parliament,” he wrote.

“It is due to the support from our community that I will now be able to serve Victoria as a Minister.”
