Shadow cabinet Dutton

Liberal leader Peter Dutton and Nationals leader David Littleproud have announced the opposition frontbench after losing government at the federal election.

"You don't ask to get underneath the closed doors of the left or the right of the Labor Party, I don't think you need to be in the policy discussions that the Liberal Party and the National Party has." "I want to acknowledge these two men’s leadership in the National Party and I will continue to draw on both to ensure the National Party is able to nurture the next generation in a harmonious way in making sure we are a constructive part of the coalition," he said. I'm cognisant of trying to bring people through for an opportunity." "I want to make sure that we can increase the support provided, the health outcomes, education outcomes, housing outcomes, and as a team will be working on that because it is one of the most significant issues as a country we have to deal with." The Nationals leader paid tribute to the two previous leaders, saying he wants to “draw on both” for ways in which to “nurture the next generation”. Mr Dutton said Marise Payne had initially requested not to be considered for the shadow cabinet, but will take on the role of cabinet secretary.

Opposition leader Peter Dutton has unveiled a new shadow cabinet, with 10 of the total 24 positions filled by women.

It has been reported that Payne did not seek to attain a shadow portfolio. Nationals politicians have also been given some key roles, with Bridget McKenzie given the shadow infrastructure, transport, and regional development. Unlike the Labor government’s cabinet, the Coalition’s shadow cabinet is distinctly lacking in cultural diversity.
