Albanese tipped to promote Makarndirri, McAllister to Cabinet in reshuffle

Northern Territory Senator Malarndirri McCarthy and NSW Senator Jenny McAllister are expected to become ministers when Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announces his first Cabinet reshuffle.

The big change was triggered after Labor stalwarts Brendan O’Connor and Linda Burney announced they would retire at the next election.

Sky News reports Senator McCarthy will likely become the new Indigenous Australians Minister.

It is believed Immigration Minister Andrew Giles and Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil could be moved from their ministerial roles in the reshuffle, into new portfolios. But the reshuffle is expected to be a minimalist one, with the major portfolios remaining in the same hands.

Defence will likely stay with Richard Marles, Treasurer will stay with Jim Chalmers and the Energy portfolio will likely stay with Chris Bowen, Sky News reports.
