Factional Ally Big Winner in Premier's Cabinet Shake-Up
The reshuffle fills vacancies after three ministers retired, and the new cabinet will be sworn in before the November state election.
- On Wednesday, Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan swore in four new ministers at Government House, reshaping her cabinet seven months before the November election. "This is a new team, with new energy and new solutions," Allan said.
- This reorganization follows Monday's announcement that three veteran Labor MPs—Mary-Anne Thomas, Danny Pearson, and Gayle Tierney—would retire from the ministry and not contest the upcoming election.
- Harriet Shing has been elevated to the health portfolio, while Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke assumes the new role of minister for men and boys, addressing the "manosphere" and right-wing influencers' influence on young men.
- Attorney-General and Planning Minister Sonya Kilkenny adds finance and violence reduction to her responsibilities, while Shadow Attorney-General James Newbury claimed the "ship is sinking" and "Time's up. It's time for change."
- With health expected to be a major 2026 campaign issue, the reshuffle positions the government for the election fight, though Luba Grigorovitch's inclusion has drawn scrutiny over her past ties to former union leader John Setka.
