Allan's Reshuffled Cabinet: New Portfolios, Election Focus

0:00It's April 15, Sydney News. Today starts now, AI-powered and ready. I'm Cory with the story. Premier Jacinta Allen's reshuffled cabinet got sworn in today, sparted by three MPs calling a quits before the next election. Frankston, MP Paul Edbrook, lands the fresh cost of living portfolio to tackle everyday pressures head on. First-timer Luba Gregorovich steps up his youth minister, while Paul Hamer grabs local government, used justice, and corrections. Michaela Settle takes regional development in agriculture, aiming to boost those key areas. Attorney General Sonia Cokini piles on finance and violence reduction duties, showing the focus on money matters and safety. Meanwhile, Nick Stichos swaps in for Harriet Sching on the suburban railroad project. Sching shifts to health, filling the spot left by retiring Mary Ann Thomas. Ingrid Stich becomes special minister of state, and Steve Damopoulos adds economic growth and jobs to his sport and major events gig.

1:00These moves lock in a team ready to grind on priorities, like affordability and infrastructure as the election heats up.
