Albanese Announces Major Cabinet Reshuffle in Australia

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced a significant cabinet reshuffle, the first since the Labor Party's victory in May 2022, as he prepares for the upcoming election expected in 2025. Key changes include Tony Burke assuming multiple portfolios, including home affairs, immigration, and cyber security, and Clare O'Neil shifting from home affairs to housing and homelessness. Andrew Giles moves from immigration to skills and training, while Northern Territory Senator Malarndirri McCarthy will take on the role of minister for Indigenous Australians. The reshuffle follows the retirement announcements of long-serving ministers Brendan O’Connor and Linda Burney, whom Albanese commended for their contributions. Albanese expressed that this new team would be the one he presents at the next election, aiming to rejuvenate the government ahead of the polls.
