Premier Cook Shuffles Cabinet with Bold Moves | Perth News
Description
Premier Roger Cook’s cabinet just got a major shake-up as he grabs two new portfolios—Defence Industries and Tourism—while shedding State Development. The Tourism role is now merged with Trade and Investment, and the reshuffle was triggered by Paul Papalia’s resignation due to family health issues, leaving a vacuum in Emergency Services, Defence Industries, Veterans Affairs, Racing and Gaming, and the tough Corrective Services. Reece Whitby, Hannah Beazley, Don Punch, and Tony Buti are now stepping into those roles. Daniel Pastorelli, newly appointed to the critical Mines, Petroleum, and Exploration—and Water—portfolios, is being fast-tracked by Cook, bypassing factional norms, while Kimberley MP Divina D’Anna takes over as cabinet secretary.
