Sussan Ley leads for Opposition

Signalling the Opposition will focus on skills and training, Deputy Leader Sussan Ley (member for the regional NSW seat of Farrer) takes that portfolio, shadowing Brendan O’Connor 

She also shadows Ed Husic as industry minister.

Paul Fletcher will shadow Mr Husic when the minister is wearing his science hat.

Alan Tudge is the Opposition education shadow, with Nola Marino assistant shadow and Andrew Gee returning to the regional education role he had at one stage in government.

James Paterson is promoted, to shadow Cyber Security Minister Clare O’Neil. In the last parliament Senator Paterson chaired the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Intelligence and Security, which produced a comprehensive report on foreign interference in universities, (CMM March 28).
