Premier announces new Cabinet portfolio responsibilities
Premier Anna Bligh has today unveiled her reshaped, re-invigorated Cabinet including portfolio responsibilities for three new Ministers as well as sweeping changes to portfolios to reflect the government’s key priority of rebuilding the state.
“We face an enormous task this year as we get on with the job of rebuilding Queensland after the dual disasters of widespread flooding and Tropical Cyclone Yasi,” Ms Bligh said.
“And this is the right team and the right mix of portfolio responsibilities to get Queensland through this massive job of rebuilding and recovery.
“My message to the new Cabinet is clear: We each have two priorities this year – rebuilding and delivering.
“That means getting on with the job of reconstructing our state in the wake of the most devastating disasters in our recent history and getting on with the job of delivering services like health and education and transport for all Queenslanders.”
