Who is in Anthony Albanese’s new Labor cabinet? The frontbenchers and portfolio holders revealed

Michelle Rowland has been appointed Attorney-General and Tanya Plibersek moved from the environment portfolio to take up social services.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese unveiled his second-term ministerial shakeup on Monday, with promotions for Tim Ayres and Anne Aly who have been elevated to cabinet.

Mr Ayres will replace Ed Husic as Industry and Science Minister, following his dumping from the frontbench after a fierce factional fight. Ms Rowland replaces Mr Dreyfus, who was also the victim of a brutal internal battle.

Ms Aly will be the Small Business and Multicultural Affairs Minister.

Murray Watt will take over as Environment Minister, while Anika Wells will take over as Communications Minister from Ms Rowland, and retain the sports portfolio.

Amanda Rishworth will take up the Employment and Workplace Relations portfolio.

Richard Marles, Jim Chalmers, Penny Wong, Don Farrell and Katy Gallagher retain their same portfolios.

Mark Butler will also remain Health Minister but will also take on NDIS – supported by Jenny McAllister in the outer ministry.

Jason Clare will stay Education Minister, and Julian Hill will support him as assistant minister for international education.

Tony Burke will continue as Home Affairs, Immigration, Cyber Security and Arts Minister.

Chris Bowen will remain Energy and Climate Change Minister, Clare O’Neil will remain Housing and Homelessness Minister, and Julie Collins will continue to serve as Agriculture Minister.

Much of the rest of the ministry will remain the same.

Following the factional bruhaha, new ministry additions Daniel Mulino will become Assistant Treasurer, Sam Rae will be the Aged Care Minister, and Jess Walsh the Early Childhood and Education Minister.

Andrew Charlton has been promoted to Cabinet Secretary and will also serve as an assistant minister for science, technology and the digital economy.

Freshman federal MP Rebecca White will be the assistant minister for health and aged care, indigenous health, and women.

Nita Green has been promoted into the executive as the assistant minister for Northern Australia, tourism, and Pacific Islands affairs.

Peter Khalil has also been promoted to assistant minister for defence.

New special envoy positions have been created, with Dan Repacholi taking on the men’s health role, Marion Scyrmgour for remote communities, Kate Thwaites for climate change adaptation and resilience, and Tim Watts for the Indian Ocean.
