The Government will hit the ground running to get on with the job of governing for all of New South Wales.
We have been given a clear mandate from the people of New South Wales to:
- rebuild our essential services;
- to invest in the people who look after us – our nurses, teachers, paramedics, police officers and firefighters by removing the wages cap;
- deal with the crisis in our schools and hospitals;
- deal with the energy crisis; and
- help with the rising cost of living.
The Minns Ministry is a reduced Cabinet of 22 Ministers, but for the first time in New South Wales history, will be 50 per cent women (excluding the Premier).
For the first time in New South Wales history, a woman will hold the position of Leader of the Government in the Legislative Council.
For the first time in New South Wales history, a woman will hold the portfolio of Energy (Sharpe), Police (Catley), Regional NSW (Moriarty), Finance (Houssos) and Regional Transport (Aitchison).
For the first time in New South Wales history, an Australian Minister was sworn in on the Bhagavad Gita (Mookhey), and a NSW Minister will be sworn in on the Quran (Dib).
Penny Sharpe will take on the responsibility of Energy and Climate Change, Environment and Heritage as well as Leader of the Government in the Legislative Council.
Yasmin Catley will take on the responsibility of Minister for Police and Counter Terrorism.
Jihad Dib will take on Customer Service and Digital Government, as well as Emergency Services and Youth Justice.
Tara Moriarty will take on Agriculture, Regional NSW and Western NSW.
David Harris will take on Aboriginal Affairs and Treaty, Gaming and Racing, Veterans, Medical Research, and the Central Coast.
"I'm proud of the team we have. We have a lot of hard work in front of us, and a big responsibility, but my team and I are up to the challenge," Chris Minns, NSW Premier said.
"We have a clear mandate from the people of NSW to rebuild our essential services, to invest in the people who look after us – our nurses, teachers, paramedics, firefighters and police officers.
"Our priority is to help families and households deal with the increasing cost of living, the energy crisis and to fix our schools and hospitals."
