Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has announced a long-awaited shake-up to his frontbench ahead of the upcoming federal election.
David Coleman will take on the shadow foreign affairs portfolio after Simon Birmingham announced his retirement from politics.
Among the changes, Jacinta Nampijinpa Price will become the shadow minister for government efficiency and Melissa McIntosh will take on the shadow communications portfolio. Julian Leeser will also return to the shadow ministry in the assistant foreign affairs portfolio after he quit the Coalition frontbench in 2023 to support the Voice to Parliament referendum.Photo shows Demonstrators hold up a cut out of Olympic rings of five Israeli hostages in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 2024Photo shows Peter Greste holds a picture of Alaa Abd El-Fattah while standing next to Laila Soueif who holds a sign reading "#Free Alaa".
