Ben Carroll’s bold cabinet overhaul slashes roles to just 20, with Gabrielle Williams stepping into the high-stakes Deputy Premier and Education portfolios as teacher strikes loom. Colin Brooks takes the reins as Treasurer and Industrial Relations Minister, tasked with defending Labor’s economic credibility ahead of November’s election — while Jaclyn Symes shifts to Energy and Environment. Key portfolios vanish, including infrastructure and men and boys, as Anthony Carbines pivots to AI and digital economy, plus major events and trade. Paul Edbrooke now leads police and emergency services. Ingrid Stitt inherits Health from retiring Harriet Shing, Vicki Ward handles public transport, and Paul Hamer oversees roads — though no dedicated transport or Suburban Rail Loop portfolio remains. Sonya Kilkenny, who challenged Carroll for leadership, stays Attorney-General and Planning Minister, while Enver Erdogan steps into Finance. Tim Richardson joins as Local Government and Consumer Affairs Minister — all part of a second reshuffle this year aimed squarely at fiscal discipline.
