Victorian Premier reshuffles cabinet, creates new AI minister role

Premier Ben Carroll announced a cabinet reshuffle that adds a Minister for Artificial Intelligence, assigned to Anthony Carbines, while eliminating the Transport Infrastructure portfolio.

After assuming the Labor leadership in Victoria, Ben Carroll unveiled his first front-bench line-up. The new arrangement introduces a dedicated AI portfolio, with former police minister Anthony Carbines taking the post. The previous Minister for Transport Infrastructure role, as well as the Suburban Rail Loop brief, have been removed from the cabinet. The changes signal a shift in policy focus toward emerging technologies.

Why it matters

The reshuffle highlights Victoria's new emphasis on AI policy and signals a shift away from certain transport projects.
