New portfolios and role shake-up in David Crisafulli’s office

However, there has been a role shake-up and several new portfolios have been created, including integrity, customer service and open data.

“During our term, you saw 20 people in the opposition, and it is these 20 people who will lead the government during this term,” Crisafulli said after taking the oath of office today.

He said a “mechanism for government change” was needed for the “dignity of Queenslanders”.

Ros Bates, who served as shadow health secretary for almost seven years, now covers finance, trade, employment and training.

“After the election, Ros asked me and said she would work in any capacity, but she said she wanted to have the opportunity to play a different role, especially in finance,” Crisafulli said.

“Ros has been elevated to one of the highest positions in this government.”

Tim Nicholls is taking charge of health and handing the attorney-general portfolio to former LNP leader Deb Frecklington, who is also Justice Minister and Integrity Minister.

The government’s crime agenda is also led by Laura Gerber, who heads up youth justice and victim support, Dan Purdy, who leads on policing, and Amanda Camm, who heads up child safety and the prevention of domestic and family violence, as well as families, older people and disability services. .

The environment and tourism are brought together and will be led by the only new face in the Cabinet, Andrew Powell.

“It is clear to me that the biggest obstacles to tourism remain in the Ministry of Environment, which is why I decided to create a super-portfolio dedicated to tourism and the environment,” Crisafulli said.

Powell is also Minister of Science and Innovation.

Former shadow environment minister Sam O’Conner is now responsible for housing, public works and youth.

Deputy Prime Minister Jarrod Bleijie will be Minister for Government Development, Infrastructure and Planning, and Minister for Industrial Relations.

David Janecki is Treasurer and also manages the Energy Portfolio and will be Minister of Home Ownership.

Crisafulli said including energy in the Treasury portfolio “shows Queenslanders that we are fair about lowering the cost of electricity”.

The ministerial role for the Olympic and Paralympic Games has been revived and will be led by Tim Mander, whose portfolio includes sport and racing.

Christian Rowan, who was shadow education and arts minister, has moved from the frontbench to become leader of the House.

John-Paul Langbroek is the Minister of Education and the Arts.

Dale Last is Minister for Natural Resources and Mines, Minister for Industry and Minister for Regional and Rural Development.

Brent Mickelberg is the Minister of Transport and Highways.

Anne Leahy covers local government and water services, as well as fire safety, disaster recovery and volunteerism.

Tony Perrett is Minister for Primary Industries.

Fiona Simpson works on women and women’s economic security, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander partnerships and multiculturalism.

Steve Minnikin is Minister for Small and Family Business and the New Customer Experience and Open Data Portfolio.

After Saturday’s state elections, the LNP looks set to win at least 51 seats in the 93-seat parliament.
