Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says the new Coalition frontbench will have “as many women as possible” when he reveals the shadow ministry alongside Nationals leader David Littleproud on Sunday.
“You’ll see some new faces, we’ve got incredible talent on the frontbench at the moment, but those people who have been on the backbench for a while as well, some incredible talent, and I want to give some of them an opportunity, some new faces for the public to see and we’ll announce all of that detail.”
Former Energy Minister Angus Taylor is rumoured to be named shadow treasurer, while former trade minister Dan Tehan is expected to be given either the foreign affairs or defence portfolio under Dutton. Senate leader Simon Birmingham and Senate deputy leader Michaelia Cash will remain in those positions.
