NEW CABINET, NEW HOME AFFAIRS
It’s the first day at work for Anthony Albanese’s “refreshed” cabinet, with the Home Affairs Department in particular looking very different today.
If you’re just catching up, on Sunday Albanese announced Clare O’Neil and Andrew Giles were being removed from the troubled Home Affairs and Immigration portfolios and put in Housing and Skills and Training respectively. Elsewhere, NT Senator Malarndirri McCarthy was named as the new Indigenous Australians minister, Murray Watt the minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Julie Collins moves to Agriculture, Pat Conroy is the minister for defence industry and capability delivery, and international development and the Pacific, and Jenny McAllister, was named the minister for cities and the minister for emergency management.
