The newly sworn in Allan Government will need to quickly but efficiently make key changes to the Victorian Cabinet and Public Service to ensure “new policy priorities” are implemented effectively.
Taking her first Question as Premier from Sky News Australia, Jacinta Allan flagged changes to the bureaucracy which, under Daniel Andrews, centralised decision making in the Premier’s Private Office with dozens of staff who had direct access to the former leader.
Sky News Australia understands a cabinet reshuffle under Premier Allan could take several days, and potentially not be finalised until after the AFL Grand Final on Saturday. Soon after she swore an oath of office, Premier Allan resigned the portfolios of Transport Infrastructure and Suburban Rail Loop under her commission in the Andrews Ministry, to only then quickly assume those roles back and be sworn in under those portfolios as a Minister in the Allan Government.
It appears, some positions have already been secured, with the Treasurer under the Andrews Government Tim Pallas declaring he would remain in after unsuccessfully becoming Deputy Premier following an endorsement by the Socialist Left. Mr. Bracks told the Herald Sun when she was elevated to his cabinet alongside another 29-year-old, Tim Holding, “one of those two will go on to be premier”.Expect more media opportunities and events in rural Victoria, perhaps closer to Premier Allan’s electorate of Bendigo East, where she has commuted from under her ministerial responsibilities.
