I have today appointed a Labor frontbench with the talent and experience to hold the Morrison Government to account and develop a policy platform worthy of the support of Australians at the next election.
\nMy team includes a blend of experienced former Government Ministers, as well as talented newcomers whose enthusiasm and fresh ideas will reinvigorate Labor over the next three years.
\nMy Shadow Ministry includes members from all parts of the nation. It reflects society, with half men and half women including the Shadow Cabinet Secretary.
\nAs I made clear in the days after the May 18 election, I made no deals with colleagues to secure the unanimous support of the Labor Party to become Leader.
\nI am confident my team will be more than a match for the Morrison Government\u2019s frontbench.
\nThe Shadow Ministry will meet for the first time on Tuesday in Brisbane.
\nIn the days and weeks that follow that meeting, Shadow Ministers will disperse into communities across the nation to listen to Australians about why only one in three voters gave Labor their first preference at the election on May 18.
\nLabor\u2019s May 18 election result was a wake-up call. The first step to success next time is honest discussion with the Australian people.
