Deputy Premier Jacinta Allan has been elected unopposed to succeed Premier Daniel Andrews following the shock resignation after more than eight years in power.

Premier Allan announced the full ministry which has several changes and announced her goal was to address a housing shortage by delivering on the government’s target of delivering 800,000 new homes over the next decade.

The changes are relatively modest and the view is that the new Premier will focus on bedding down the challenges her predecessor left behind without radically altering the machinery of government.

Ben Carroll was elected Deputy Premier after serving as an MP since 2012. He has previously held the portfolios of Public Transport, Manufacturing Sovereignty, Employment, and Industry and Innovation, and will now hold Education and Minister for Medical Research.

Carroll is from Labor’s Right faction and appears to be a winner by assuming the Deputy Premiership. It is understood that much of the reform in the education sector that he has inherited has been completed, however, so he may have time on his hands.

Tim Pallas remains Treasurer and Minister for Industrial Relations with the portfolio of Trade and Investment (renamed Economic Growth) and will maintain his focus on securing investment opportunities for the state.

One of the big winners, Assistant Treasurer Danny Pearson, adds the new Premier’s former portfolios of transport infrastructure and the suburban rail loop to his responsibilities.

The Press Gallery claimed this was a surprise, given Pearson’s fall-out from not declaring a possible conflict of interest from owning Commonwealth Bank shares when he announced the bank had won a multimillion-dollar contract.

Attorney General, Minister for Emergency Services and Leader of the Government in the Legislative Council, Jaclyn Symes, retains her portfolios. She will ensure that regional representation remains within the leadership team as she lives in Mildura and represents towns like Daylesford, Bendigo and Wangaratta.

The Allan government has also opted for stability in its energy transition program with Lily D’Ambrosio remaining Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources and Minister for the State Energy Commission. The $1 billion re-establishment of State Energy Commission was one of the key election policies from the government at last year’s election and is focused on investing in renewable energy and storage projects.

Also retaining their portfolios are Police Minister Anthony Carbines and Corrections Minister Enver Erdogan.
