Premier Peter Malinauskas has announced a new-look cabinet as a result of a reshuffle triggered by the resignation of Geoff Brock last week.
The refreshed ministry, which the Premier says is a “modest adjustment and reflects the big opportunities upon the state”, includes the movement of Space and Defence Industries to Treasurer Stephen Mullighan.

“We hope the Treasurer’s oversight of these critical sectors will enhance their commercial and economic contribution, bolstering South Australia’s future prosperity”, said the Chamber.

Champion will now head a super housing portfolio, a combination of Housing and Urban Development, Housing Infrastructure and Planning.
The full cabinet reshuffle includes:
