New LNP Leader Lawrence Springborg has announced his Shadow Cabinet for the next State Election with a major focus on health and building for Queensland's future.
The critical areas of treasury, infrastructure, health and trade will once again sit with the most senior ministers in cabinet under an LNP Government.
But Mr Springborg has moulded a shadow cabinet to reflect what the LNP would deliver in Government rather than having a shadow cabinet line-up that simply mirrors Labor's ministries.
New portfolios have been created including: future growth, open government, clean energy strategy, food security and agriculture, housing accessibility, education and skills, workplace and job security, and social inclusion.
