Kevin Hogan revealed the shadow ministry announcement would occur the day after a leadership spill that saw Angus Taylor replace Sussan Ley and reshuffle key portfolios.
- On Monday, Deputy Nationals leader Kevin Hogan let slip when the Opposition Leader would reveal his shadow ministry during Sky News commentary, with the announcement expected on Tuesday afternoon.
- After nine months of poll-plunging chaos, Angus Taylor is remaking the front bench to promote national Right faction allies and relegate supporters of deposed former leader Sussan Ley following his 34-17 Friday leadership spill victory.
- Tim Wilson has been appointed Shadow Treasurer, James Paterson named shadow defence minister, and Jacinta Nampijinpa Price and Andrew Hastie return with small business and industry portfolios.
- Nationals leader David Littleproud and Kevin Hogan will retain their shadow cabinet roles, while Dan Tehan continues as shadow minister for energy and emissions reduction and takes on opposition business duties.
- Hogan's remark came amid debate over a reported Coalition plan to restrict immigration from Muslim-majority countries, linking Angus Taylor’s national Right faction reshuffle to immigration policy discussions.
