Premier retains MP’s position

FRANKSTON MP Paul Edbrooke will remain the parliamentary secretary to the treasurer under new Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan.

Edbrooke (pictured below) has held the position since June last year. He has previously served as parliamentary secretary for bushfire recovery, police, and emergency services.

Newly-appointed Premier Allan unveiled her cabinet earlier this month. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny remains as planning minister - she was appointed to the role last July by Daniel Andrews. She has also been named the “minister for the suburbs”.

“Sonya Kilkenny will retain her responsibilities as minister for planning and also become minister for the suburbs as she continues to drive a package of planning reforms from Victoria’s Housing Statement – clearing the backlog of approvals, making sure good decisions are made faster and guiding the way our suburbs grow,” a statement from the Premier read.
