WA election win leaves Premier eyeing cabinet ‘renewal’ with Housing Minister set to be dumped
Housing and Fisheries Minister Peter Tinley is set to be dumped from the McGowan government’s cabinet in changes due to be finalised later this week.
Key points:
- Labor will hold a caucus meeting on Wednesday to choose its new cabinet
- The Premier is still learning “exact details” of some new Upper House MPs
- He has indicated there may be significant changes to the ministry
Mr Tinley’s demotion comes after Premier Mark McGowan said the government needed renewal for fresh faces and new ideas.
His demotion will ensure Perth MP John Carey secures a spot in the new cabinet.
Alongside Mr Carey, re-elected MPs Amber-Jade Sanderson, Reece Whitby, Don Punch and Tony Buti will also get ministerial spots.
It comes as Mr McGowan’s record-breaking election…
