00:00 A premier in high demand. Jacinta Allen unveiled her new look ministerial team shaking up the
00:08 front bench as she tries to make her own mark.
00:12 I present the Honourable Ben Carroll MP to be Minister for Education.
00:16 Days after challenging Ms Allen for the leadership, Ben Carroll has been given the role of Education
00:22 Minister.
00:23 It is so vitally important that we change lives through education.
00:28 Taken from Natalie Hutchins who will look after jobs after facing criticism from the
00:33 opposition for her performance in the role.
00:35 She's built on the reform work that has been done for a number of years.
00:39 Dani Pearson will take over Jacinta Allen's transport portfolio, responsible for the state's
00:44 multi-billion dollar big build.
00:47 Ingrid Stitt's been handed the mental health reins, which includes a second safe injecting
00:52 room.
00:53 Steve Dimopoulos will add outdoor recreation to his portfolios, which includes the divisive
00:58 issue of duck hunting.
00:59 And Harriet Shing's been promoted to Housing Minister to implement the government's housing

01:09 Holding her first cabinet meeting today, the new premier says while there's no longer a
01:15 minister for higher education, it will remain a priority.
01:19 I don't believe any of these ministers with elevated responsibilities will do any better
01:23 than they have in the past.
01:24 The Victorian opposition has also unveiled a shake up of its shadow cabinet, ahead of
01:29 parliament returning tomorrow for the first time with the new premier.
01:33 Former leader Matthew Guy will be welcomed back to the front bench.

01:40 John said, do you want to do PT?
01:42 I said, well, yeah, why wouldn't I?
01:45 I really like it.
01:46 John Pursuto now has two former leaders on his front bench.
01:49 Victoria is in desperate need of fresh leadership.
01:53 While David Southwick, who owns 17 properties, has been given a new role to tackle cost of
01:58 living.
01:59 I don't turn away from the fact that I had a life before politics.
02:03 Fresh teams for fresh face-offs at Spring Street.
