Premier Dominic Perrottet and Deputy Premier Paul Toole have announced a new Cabinet team to focus on delivering the NSW Government’s vision for the state.
It combines a wealth of experience with fresh energy at a critical time, leading NSW out of the pandemic and toward a stronger future.
“Our new Ministry harnesses experience, while allowing for renewal and injecting fresh energy into the team,” Mr Perrottet said.
There are nine first-time Ministers in the new-look Cabinet and four of the new ministers are women, including Nationals Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke, who takes on the portfolio of Emergency Services and Resilience.
Nats MLC Sam Farraway is the new Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Nats Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders is Minister for Agriculture and Western NSW, and Nats MLC Ben Franklin is Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, the Arts, and Regional Youth.
Adam Marshall and Melinda Pavey leave Cabinet, having served our Party well as Ministers, and remain part of The NSW Nationals team.
Deputy Premier Paul Toole said the past three years have been some of the most challenging in our State’s history, with the team’s focus now on recovery and strengthening our resilience.
“We’ve gone through the darkest of days, but we are focused on building stronger regional communities – stronger for their services, their jobs and the opportunities we’re unlocking for this generation and the next,” Mr Toole said.
“Regional health has been a big focus of our Government since day one – and as a registered nurse from the bush, Bronnie Taylor will ensure regional communities get the investment in hospitals and health services and the quality of care they deserve.
“The new Emergency Services and Resilience portfolio combines our response and recovery efforts to ensure NSW can bounce back and lead our state to a better future.”
