Liberal Churchlands MP Sean L’Estrange biggest winner in Opposition Leader Liza Harvey’s first reshuffle of shadow cabinet

Liberal Churchlands MP Sean L’Estrange is the biggest winner in Opposition Leader Liza Harvey’s first reshuffle of her shadow cabinet. Mr L’Estrange is now shadow minister for emergency services, defence issues and racing and gaming portfolios, with his former housing portfolio now Tony Krsticevic’s. Retiring MPs Mike Nahan and John McGrath have moved to the backbench. Elsewhere, former lawyer Peter Katsambanis will oversee a newly created portfolio of “justice”, while Michael Mischin remains shadow attorney-general despite being bumped down to an unwinnable spot at the State election. Ms Harvey said the new portfolio reflected “a more holistic approach to policy and legislation across the judicial sphere”. Meanwhile, Mark McGowan refused to say whether he would tell voters before the March 2021 poll who would replace retiring Ben Wyatt as Treasurer should Labor regain power. The Premier would not confirm if he was considering appointing himself to the job.
