ANNOUNCEMENT OF SHADOW MINISTERIAL APPOINTMENT


Today, Senator the Hon James McGrath has been appointed by Opposition Leader Sussan Ley to

Shadow Cabinet as the Shadow Minister for Urban Infrastructure and Cities, Shadow Minister for the

Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and Shadow Special Minister of State.

“I thank Opposition Leader Sussan Ley for the opportunity to join her new Shadow Cabinet as we in

the Liberal Party begin an extensive rebuild. We need to listen to Australians and get back to holding

this dreadful Labor Government to account,” Senator James McGrath said.

“As someone who spends a lot of time on the road travelling throughout Queensland, I understand

the importance of investment and proper strategy when it comes to infrastructure.

“In my role as Shadow Special Minister of State, I look forward to protecting Australia’s unique

democracy and stopping Labor and the Greens from bringing in a financial gerrymander.

“I also look forward to working with the Queensland State Government and Premier David Crisafulli

as we plan and build an incredible Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic games followed by a

lasting legacy.”
