Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has today unveiled changes to the Shadow Ministry. Mr Shorten said this would be the team Labor will take to the next federal election.
The reshuffle was prompted by announcements that Queensland Senator Jan McLucas and Oxley MP, Bernie Ripoll, would not contest next year’s poll.
The focus of the new Shadow Ministry will be to drive Labor’s policy development and sell their plans to the electorate.
Listed below is the Shadow Ministry, organised by portfolio.
