Brock will remain in parliament as the Member for Stuart and expressed that his decision to step down as a minister — which follows three heart attacks alongside major heart surgery — was one of the “hardest” he ever had to make.

“This decision to resign now allows me to put all of my energy into my role as the Member for Stuart,” Brock said.

This is Labor’s first reshuffle since the party took power at the state election back in 2022, and has been used by the SA premier, Peter Malinauskas, to expand the ministry.
