NSW Liberal Leader
Gurmesh Singh
NSW Nationals Leader
The NSW Liberals and Nationals have today announced the appointment of Shadow Parliamentary Secretaries, reinforcing the priorities of the Opposition and the issues facing families and households across NSW, while ensuring greater scrutiny on the Minns Labor Government.
The appointments reinforce the Opposition's commitment to being ready for government, with a clear focus on economic growth, cost-of-living pressures, housing supply, infrastructure delivery, frontline services and strong outcomes for regional and suburban communities.
Among the appointments are newly established roles, including Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Men's Health, Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Home Ownership and Rental Affordability, and Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for the Prevention of Regional Crime.
The Shadow Parliamentary Secretaries will support the Shadow Ministry in delivering a long-term plan for NSW that unleashes our state's ambition and potential.
Leader of the Opposition, Kellie Sloane, said the expanded team highlight the priorities of the Opposition ahead of the 2027 NSW Election.
"The Minns Labor Government has failed to deliver on its promises, with families, households and businesses paying the price," Ms Sloane said.
"These appointments add depth and focus to our Shadow Ministry, ensuring we apply constant pressure on the Government while developing credible, practical solutions for New South Wales."
Leader of the NSW Nationals, Gurmesh Singh, said the Shadow Parliamentary Secretaries would play a key role in supporting communities across the State, particularly in regional NSW.
"Our communities expect strong advocacy and real outcomes. These appointments ensure regional and local priorities are front and centre, while Labor's failures on services, infrastructure and economic management are exposed and challenged."
