New Cabinet will continue to deliver for Queensland

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has vowed her new Ministry will deliver for Queensland as a strong, stable majority Labor Government prioritised to jobs, health and education.

The Premier said the 18-Member Cabinet and five Assistant Ministers were the right mix of experience and regional representation to deliver greater economic prosperity and government services for all Queenslanders.

“We will build on the success of our first term – working with business and industry to create more than 130,000 new jobs, restoring frontline services, investing record budgets in health and education, and strengthening our economy through investments in infrastructure and innovation,” she said.

“Cabinet will have equal representation of men and women, and four of the five Assistant Ministers are women."

“Our Government – of 25 men and 23 women - represents a State that will be soon be home to five million people spread across more than 1.7 million square kilometres.”

“Our Government will be as hard-working and as decent as the Queenslanders we represent.” 

“We will listen to Queenslanders and we will deliver for Queenslanders.”

“As Premier, I am determined that every day we keep our focus on the concerns and hopes of Queenslanders no matter where they live and how they voted.”

“Queensland’s best days are ahead of us. Queensland has the Government that will ensure we can make the most of those opportunities.”
