Winners and losers: Inside Australian PM Anthony Albanese’s cabinet reshuffle

·

Prime Minister of Australia Anthony Albanese confirmed on Sunday his new-look Cabinet and ministry, with some pivotal ministers scrapped from their prominent roles.

Tony Burke has been appointed Home Affairs and Immigration Minister, as predecessor Clare O’Neil will now oversee the portfolios for housing and homelessness. Mr Burke is also the government’s leader of the house.

Taking over Mr Burke’s former portfolio, Senator Murray Watt was promoted to lead Employment and Workplace Relations.

While Tasmanian Franklin MP Julie Collins lost the housing and homelessness portfolios to Ms O’Neil, she will continue to hold the role of Minister for Small Business and will add agriculture, fisheries and forestry to her portfolio.

Andrew Giles has exited his position in Immigration, moving to the Minister for Skills and Training ministry, which is not a cabinet position.

Pat Conroy has been moved into the Cabinet and is now the Minister for Defence Industry and Capability Delivery and Minister for International Development and the Pacific.

Northern Territory Senator Malarndirri McCarthy is now Minister for Indigenous Australians following Linda Burney’s decision to retire at the next election.

New South Wales Senator Jenny McAllister was given two portfolios, and is now the Minister for Cities and Emergency Management.

The reshuffle was announced alongside the news that Anthony Albanese will take the new-look Cabinet and ministry to the next election.
