The ALP Caucus has met and elected the Shadow Ministry, following the federal election.
After a split in the Left faction, Senator Kim Carr has survived a proposed demotion and will remain in an expanded shadow ministry of 32.
The factional composition of the shadow ministry is Right 16, Left 15, with one unaligned. There are 19 males and 13 females.
The NSW Right has dumped Sharon Bird and promoted Ed Husic.
In Victoria, the Right has replaced David Feeney with Clare O’Neil, who has just been elected to her second term as member for Hotham.
Following a number of mis-steps in the election campaign, Feeney, the former shadow minister for Defence, is the biggest loser in the Caucus election.
Other newcomers to the shadow ministry are former shadow parliamentary secretaries, Senator Carol Brown, Ed Husic and Senator Sam Dastyari.
The newly-elected Linda Burney also joins the shadow ministry. She is a former NSW state minister and deputy leader of the state ALP.
Senator Dastyari and Andrew Leigh will not receive extra salary for their positions. The Act the governs parliamentary entitlements only allows for 30 shadow ministers to receive extra payment. Shadow parliamentary secretaries do not receive payment.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten is expected to announce portfolio allocations over the weekend.
