The Albanese Government is shufflin’ after Indigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney and Skills and Training Minister Brendan O’Connor announced their retirements yesterday. The pair won’t contest their respective seats of Barton (in Sydney’s southwest) and Gorton (in Melbourne’s north-west) at the next federal election and have stepped down as ministers, effective immediately. Burney was called out for special praise yesterday – she will be remembered as the first Indigenous woman to serve as Minister for Indigenous Australians. Yesterday, PM Anthony Albanese praised the pair’s “passion for this nation” and “their determination to leave this country better”. It means a couple of ministerial positions are up for grabs… Reports say Albanese will announce his new ministry on Sunday.
