Victorian leader Brad Battin reshuffles cabinet, promoting allies and eight women ahead of 2026 election.

Victorian Liberal leader Brad Battin has reshuffled his shadow cabinet, promoting supporters and demoting allies of his predecessor, John Pesutto, who was deposed late last year. Notable changes include James Newbury becoming the shadow treasurer and Jess Wilson shifting to oversee economic growth and education. Battin emphasized that these changes were based on merit, not factions, and that eight women now hold positions in the cabinet. The party is gearing up for the 2026 state election.
