Australia news live: Albanese’s cabinet reshuffle sees Giles and O’Neil dumped and Burke taking home affairs

Hello from Canberra where Anthony Albanese has just completed his much mooted ministry reshuffle.

A couple of takeaways from the announcement: Albanese wants everyone to know that this is only occurring because two ministers, Brendan O’Connor and Linda Burney, decided to step down from the frontbench ahead of their retirements at the next election and he is very focused on “stability”.

In the days leading up to this announcement, Albanese has been keen to point out how few changes he has had to make up until this point. Today he said he had much the same team for “two years and two months” before this change.

At the same time, there has been a need to reshuffle to reset the ministry – and some problem areas – ahead of the coming election. That election can be held any time between now and May next year and it’s obvious that Albanese wants focus to shift from some exposed weak spots with his government to the narrative on cost-of-living relief and the energy transition Labor is crafting.

Those portfolio weak spots – home affairs and immigration – have been tackled in this reshuffle by removing both Clare O’Neil and Andrew Giles, the ministers who held the portfolios, and installing Tony Burke to both. Burke is one of Albanese’s best-performing ministers and a long time ally: he will now carry the load of the government’s troubles as senior minister in what are two troublesome areas, but he’s been allowed to keep arts as a bit of a sweetner.

Burke will have two assistant ministers to help share the load, but it is going to be a challenge to keep across.

O’Neil has been moved into housing – another challenging area for the government, with Julie Collins now taking carriage of the portfolios she held in opposition: agriculture, forestry and fishing. It’s a comfortable fit for a Tasmanian MP, but O’Neil will now have lead in negotiating with the Greens on housing policy, an area they have set up as an election battlefield.

Queenslander Murray Watt was probably the biggest winner. He’s been rewarded for his work in agriculture with a call up to the industrial relations portfolio, where Burke has already completed much of the hard work.

Having announced these changes well ahead of the next parliament sitting in mid-August, Albanese is hoping for a fresh start and some clean air. But, as always in politics, that’s out of his control.

\n

These will include common sense and reasonable reasons such as:

\n

– The existing rules where the renter is at fault, because of a breach of lease, damage to the property, or non-payment of rent.

\n

– Where the property is being sold or offered for sale with vacant possession.

\n

– Where significant repairs or renovations make inhabiting the property too difficult or it will be demolished. If a homeowner seeks to renovate or repair a home, it cannot be relisted for a period of at least 4 weeks.

\n

– If the property will no longer be used as a rental home, i.e a change of use.

\n

– Where the owner or their family intend to move into the property.

\n

– If the renter is no longer eligible for an affordable housing program or if the property is purpose-built student accommodation and the renter is no longer a student.

Motion to repeal youth bail laws fails at NSW Labor conference

A motion to repeal youth bail laws and anti-protest laws has been defeated at the NSW Labor conference.

As my colleagues reported yesterday, today’s conference was the first time youth bail laws – passed by the state government earlier this year – were debated amongst party members. You can read more on these laws below:

The motion put forward today condemned the “recent trend of Labor … supporting legislation that erodes rather than advances civil liberties and human rights in our state”, calling for both the youth bail laws and anti-protest laws to be repealed.

The motion also called for a charter of human rights to be enacted in the state.

The mayor of Inner West council, Darcy Byrne, has been a vocal opponent of the laws and said they target First Nations children. He told the crowd that the policy of “putting more juveniles in detention goes against the very ethos of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.”

Whatever problem we think we’re solving, this is not the answer. There are very deep and serious social and economic problems and disadvantages in remote communities, and youth crime is one symptom of that – one symptom of a much bigger problem that it’s the Labor Party’s job to address, to overcome inequality and Indigenous injustice…

“In the wake of the referendum, it’s a kick in the guts for Aboriginal people to see the Labor Party doing this. There’s no mandate from this conference for this policy. Aboriginal leaders, the legal community, the human rights advocates and rank and file Labor party members do not support incarcerating more Aboriginal kids, and will fight against it to the end.

There were loud cheers in favour of, and against, the motion, but it was ultimately defeated. We’ll bring you more from the speakers in response to the motion soon.

Amy’s analysis: key takeaways from Albanese’s cabinet reshuffle

Amy Remeikis

Hello from Canberra where Anthony Albanese has just completed his much mooted ministry reshuffle.

Burke will have two assistant ministers to help share the load, but it is going to be a challenge to keep across.

Victorian Liberals target housing delays

From AAP:

The Victorian Liberals are ramping up housing rhetoric, promising to slash planning approval delays to build homes quicker and cheaper if they return from the electoral wilderness in 2026.

The state opposition leader, John Pesutto, unveiled a plan to cut “red tape” connected to cultural heritage and what he referred to as “Melbourne Water processes” at the Victorian Liberal state council on Sunday.

These were imposing a burden on residential housing developers which, in turn, were passing the extra costs on to buyers, he said.

The Coalition would establish clear timelines and costs for cultural heritage procedures, commit to annual published audits of cultural heritage approvals linked to housing developments and introduce annual performance audits for Melbourne Water, Presutto said.

Greens call for new housing minister to reopen negotiations on bills

Over on X [or Twitter, if you prefer], the Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather has called on the new housing minister to reopen negotiations with the Greens:

If Labor wants their housing bills passed, I call on the new housing minister, Clare O'Neil to immediately reopen negotiations with the Greens on rent freeze/caps along with phasing out tax handouts for investors and real investment in public housing.

Huonville gas leak declared safe

We have an update about the gas leak in Huonville, with the Tasmania fire service saying it is now safe. Main Road, Huonville is back open to the public after the gas leak.

A summary of Anthony Albanese’s cabinet reshuffle

To recap: the changes are as follows:

Ministry changes:

Albanese outlines differences between assistant ministry and special envoy

The PM has been asked what the difference is between being an assistant minister and being a special envoy:

An assistant minister is someone who is making decisions. They are in the executive. What I have done with the envoy positions is put in place people who can give thought to things that might not lead to an immediate policy decision … they are certainly not funding any programs.

PM defends Labor record on immigration

The PM has been asked about if Labor is better at managing immigration:

What my job is to do is to make sure that we implement good policy. That’s what we’ve done, in spite of the rhetoric … from the former government.

The truth is we have maintained border security. The resources that have been allocated have never been higher than they are today. We have made sure we have put in place Operation Sovereign Borders, [which] continues today.

And what we have done as well [is] put in place a measure to reduce the migration numbers going forward. There was always going to be of course an uplift in numbers after the pandemic, after the borders that were shut were reopened.

PM defends scrapping assistant minister of the republic

The PM has been asked why Labor have scrapped the republic as a portfolio (that was Matt Thistlethwaite’s portfolio). He said he inherited the position:

I said before I was elected prime minister, I intended to have one referendum. It is the only thing I committed to. Previously, the Labor party went to elections committing to multiple referendums.

At the moment, the only person who is committed to another referendum during the next term if he’s elected is Peter Dutton.

PM says Tony Burke is ‘up for it’ after being appointed to five roles in ministry

The PM has been asked if Tony Burke is going to be overloaded in his new roles:

He is certainly up for it, and what it means is that in terms of a department, there will be one person who will be responsible for it. I gave a lot of thought to the appropriate structure.

That is one of the reasons the structure is there. One minister and then two junior assistance to them is, I think, the right structure.

PM says Giles moved from immigration porfolio due to knock-on effects

The PM has been asked why he moved Andrew Giles from the portfolio?

Because there is a reshuffle. What we had to do, what you do when there is a reshuffle is, that there is a change, that then has a knock-on effect.

The fact is that we have been a very stable government.

I have noted some of the comments. I mean, again, Peter Dutton has been pretending there wasn’t a high court decision [on immigration]. There was a high court decision, notwithstanding some of the commentary that has been made, which would have taken place regardless of who was in government.

PM predicts ‘Dutton will be negative’ on portfolio shuffle

The PM was asked if the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, will “claim the scalps of Andrew Giles and also Clare O’Neil”:

Peter Dutton will be negative, I will give you that big tip. He will be destructive, he will attack people, he will engage in the sort of vilification which is his speciality.

His team keep telling him to smile more but I’ve seen no evidence that any of that is working. What I see is his relentless negativity, and the fact is that Peter Dutton left a mess in the portfolios that he held.

Anthony Albanese: ‘This is the team that I will take to the election’

The PM:

These combined changes, I think, represent a significant move forward. I would expect that this is the team that I will take to the election when it is held sometime in the future, and it is a team that I think tomorrow, the swearing-in will take place.

I will recommend that the swearing in take place at 9am tomorrow, and then there will be a full meeting of the new ministry.

PM details assistant ministry changes

The PM has announced there are a range of assistant ministry changes as well. These are:

Matt Thistlethwaite as the assistant minister for immigration. Julian Hill as the assistant minister for citizenship and multicultural affairs.
Patrick Gorman will, in addition to his role supporting the PM, become assistant minister to the attorney general.
Ged Kearney will also become the assistant minister for Indigenous health.
Senator Anthony Chisholm will take on the role of assistant minister for agriculture, fisheries and forestry.
Senator Tim Ayres will have a change to his title from assistant minister for manufacturing to the assistant minister for a Future Made in Australia.
Kate Thwaites will be the assistant minister for social security, assistant minister for ageing and assistant minister for women.
Josh Wilson will be the assistant minister for climate change and energy
Peter Khalil will be the special envoy for social cohesion.
Luke Gosling takes up the post of special envoy for defence, veterans affairs and Northern Australia.
Andrew Charlton will be the special envoy for cybersecurity and digital resilience.

Andrew Giles now minister for skills and training

The PM:

Pat Conroy enters cabinet as the minister for defence industry and capability delivery and the minister for international development and the Pacific.

Andrew Giles will be the minister for skills and training.

Senator Jenny McAllister becomes the minister for cities and the minister for emergency management.

Albanese: Malarndirri McCarthy ‘obvious person’ to move into Indigenous Australians portfolio

The PM on McCarthy’s new positon:

I read a range of speciation over the coming days about portfolios. That is one you all got right. Malarndirri McCarthy was the obvious person to move into that portfolio, building on the legacy of Linda Burney, while bringing her own lived experience and advocacy to the Cabinet table.

PM names Malarndirri McCarthy as new Indigenous Australians minister

The PM:

Murray Watt will become the minister for employment and workplace relations.

Malarndirri McCarthy will become the new minister for Indigenous Australians.

Anthony Albanese announces cabinet reshuffle

The PM has announced the cabinet reshuffle.

Tony Burke is to become the minister for home affairs; minister for immigration & multicultural affairs; minister for cyber security; minister for the arts; and the leader of the house.

Julie Collins to become minister for agriculture, fisheries & forestry and the minister for small business.

Clare O’Neil is to become the minister for housing and the minister for homelessness.

The PM:

Good governments aim high, they work out of a drawer on a diversity of talent, and that certainly is what drives me, and that’s what drives the changes I’m announcing today.
