Two senior ministers have announced their retirement from politics at the upcoming federal election, giving the prime minister clean air to announce a cabinet reshuffle. Indigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney and Skills Minister Brendan O’Connor will step down at the next federal election, due by May 2025. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese thanked the ministers for their service.
“I am proud to call them my friends, I am proud to have witnessed first-hand their passion for this nation, their determination to leave the country better for their contribution as members of parliament and as ministers.” They will step down from the ministry “to enable a refresh and enable some new ministers to be able to take their place and take us forward over the coming months before the election”, Albanese said.
