ANDREW Barr has announced the result of the ACT Labor caucus ballot this morning for the vacant Ministry positions.
“I am pleased to announce that Meegan Fitzharris and Dr Chris Bourke will become the Territory’s next Ministers,” Andrew said.
“This decision will bring the renewal I was seeking for my team heading into 2016, with the right balance of experience and fresh ideas.
“Meegan Fitzharris has spent over a year in the ACT Assembly and has demonstrated her capability and advocacy skills as a vocal member for the Gungahlin region. Meegan will bring enthusiasm to a renewed Ministry.
“Dr Chris Bourke has been a member of the ACT Legislative Assembly since 2008 and was a Minister in the previous government. His experience will be vital in the Cabinet and I look forward to his contribution.
“I will now spend time discussing portfolio arrangements with my new Ministerial colleagues, and will make an announcement on their portfolios in the coming days.”
