New Faces in SA Labor's Frontbench

0:00It's March 24th. This is Adelaide News today, powered by AI. South Australia's labor government is refreshing his front bench as it kicks off a second term in power. Premier Peter Malinowskas announced the changes, bringing three new members into the cabinet. They include Nadia Clancy from Elder, Michael Brown from Flory, and Alice Rolls, who sets a represent only. Those newcomers are stepping in for veterans, Zoe Bedison, Andrea Michaels, and Nat Cook, who together serve decades on the front bench. Michaels has already left parliament after the recent election, while Bedison and Cook will stick around in other roles within the party team. The outgoing ministers left big shoes to fill. Bedison handled tourism, multicultural affairs, and more during her 12 years in cabinet. Cook focused on human services and seniors for eight years, championing vulnerable folks. Michaels covered arts and business affairs over her six-year stint. Two more MPs got promotions, too, as assistant ministers.

1:01Sarah Andrews, from Gibson and Lawrence Bend, incoming for Enfield, will support the team in those roles. The premier thanked everyone stepping down for their long service to the party in state. The new lineup gets sworn in at government house tomorrow at 10.45 AM, marking a fresh start for the ministry.
