Peter Dutton has finally unveiled his new-look front bench, which includes a newly created Donald Trump-style “government efficiency” portfolio. The opposition leader revealed the changes at a press conference in Cairns, announcing MP David Coleman would replace retiring Senator Simon Birmingham as shadow foreign affairs minister. Dutton also made the eye-catching announcement of Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price as his shadow minister for government efficiency.
Coleman takes the foreign affairs reins after Senator Birmingham announced he will leave parliament at the coming federal election. “It’s time for us to have a change of government in this country, to get our country back on track, and part of that is to rebuild international relations,” Dutton said. Coleman had previously held the communications role, which will be picked up by NSW MP Melissa McIntosh.
