Following the Labor party’s victory at last month’s election, the Minns government has announced its full ministry, including the new housing minister.
Rose Jackson assumes the role of Minister for Housing, alongside her roles as the Minister for Water, Minister for Homelessness, Minister for Youth, Minister for Mental health, and Minister for the North coast.
Sharing news of her appointment on Twitter, Ms Jackson admitted her new role is a “huge task”, but professed she is “forever grateful to be given the chance to serve.”
The Minns ministry is a reduced cabinet of 22 ministers, consisting of, for the first time in state history, 50 per cent women.
NSW premier Chris Minns conceded, “[Our government] have a lot of hard work in front of us, and a big responsibility, but my team and I are up to the challenge.”
He added, “[I am] proud of the team we have.”
Outlining the first Labor government in over a decade possesses “a clear mandate from the people of NSW to rebuild our essential services, to invest in the people who look after us — our nurses, teachers, paramedic, firefighters, and police officers.”
“Our priority is to help families and households deal with the increasing cost of living, the energy crisis, and to fix our schools and hospitals,” he concluded.
Other ministers with links to the housing and property sector will include:
- Minister for Small Business, Minister for Lands and Property, Minister for Multiculturalism, and Minister for Sport, Stephen Kamper
- Minister for Better Regulation and Fair Trading, Minister for Industry and Trade, Minister for Innovation, Science, and Technology, and Minister for Corrections, Anoulack Chanthivong
