Lee announces reshuffle of Shadow Cabinet
Canberra Liberals Leader Elizabeth Lee has announced a reshuffle of the Shadow Cabinet in the lead up to the 2024 election.
The Shadow Cabinet will be made up of seven members, with Jeremy Hanson and Elizabeth Kikkert to serve on the backbench.
Ms Lee will take on Education while James Milligan will add Police to his Emergency Services portfolio along with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs. Families, Youth and Community Services and Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence will go to Leanne Castley and Mark Parton will take Corrections.
Nicole Lawder, who will not contest the 2024 election will keep all her portfolios and take Veterans Affairs. However Assistant Shadow Ministers have been appointed to all her portfolios.
Ms Lee said the Shadow Cabinet announced today will largely make up the team that will serve in Cabinet under a Lee Canberra Liberals government.
“I know every member of this team is committed and determined to win government in October 2024,” Ms Lee said.
“All members of the Shadow Cabinet team are united and have demonstrated throughout this term that they will work tirelessly in the best interests of the community.
“I have assembled a team that I can trust to put forward a strong alternate vision for Canberra as we head towards the election next year.
“Whilst Jeremy and Elizabeth will not serve in the Shadow Cabinet, they remain important members of the Canberra Liberals Party Room and will no doubt continue to be strong voices for their communities in their electorates.
“With less than a year until the election, my team and I look forward to continuing to have positive conversations with the community as we put forward our vision for a better Canberra,” Ms Lee concluded.
