Shadow cabinet of Victoria - Misplaced Pages

(Redirected from Shadow ministry of Victoria) Shadow ministry of the Victorian Parliament

The shadow cabinet of Victoria is the opposition's equivalent to the Cabinet of Victoria. The shadow cabinet plays a big part in delivering an effective opposition. It consists of members of parliament who are given individual responsibilities for specific policy areas. This enables the opposition to present alternative viewpoints, scrutinise bills, and contribute to the lawmaking process in their specialised portfolios. In addition, it helps prepare the opposition for government should they win the next election by giving them the opportunity to develop their policy positions.

The current shadow cabinet, led by the Opposition Leader Brad Battin, was announced on 27 December 2024.
