New Government Ministers Announced
Date: 29-Jun-2017

Many will already have seen Premier Palaszczuk’s announcement of the new Cabinet over the weekend, but the full ministry list is available here for those who haven’t.  LGAQ will be making representations to the new government and qldwater will attend briefings with relevant departments as opportunities arise.

While there have not been major changes to portfolios (some exceptions including separation of “training and skills” from “education”) the new government has followed through with its pre-election commitment to significantly reduce the size of the ministry leading to some unusual groupings or responsibility.  The new Minister for Energy and Water Supply, Mark Bailey MP, is also responsible for Main Roads, Road Safety and Ports.

Other media reports note the appointment of a new Director General for the Department of Premier and Cabinet and advise that other Directors General will re-apply for their positions and be selected based on merit.
