NORTHERN Victoria Region MP Gaelle Broad has been promoted in a reshuffle of the Coalition frontbench.
Ms Broad, who entered Parliament after the 2022 election, has been made shadow assistant minister for regional development and agriculture.
Nationals leader Danny O’Brien said on Friday: “Gaelle is a tireless advocate for country communities and her understanding of the issues facing regional Victoria makes her a natural fit for these important portfolios.”
The reshuffle was triggered after Gippsland East MP Tim Bull announced he would retire at this November’s election.
Member for Mildura, Jade Benham, will enter the Coalition’s shadow cabinet as the shadow minister for water, consumer affairs, disability, ageing, carers and volunteers.
