Rachel Stephen-Smith Takes the Helm | Australia News
Description
After a major cabinet shuffle sparked by Deputy Chief Minister Yvette Berry’s exit, Rachel Stephen-Smith has stepped into the spotlight as the new deputy — a move many saw coming. With a proven track record in health during the pandemic, Stephen-Smith now oversees education and major hospital projects, while Marisa Paterson takes the health portfolio. The reshuffle is framed as a fresh start, aiming to rebuild public trust with honesty and competence. Caitlin Tough joins the cabinet representing Tuggeranong, and Tara Cheyne moves into transport. The real test? Can Stephen-Smith deliver real change — especially in education — to set herself up for the 2028 election, not just survive the headlines.
