Tanya Plibersek overlooked as Education Minister, seems a strange call by Albo to me given her experience and interest
in the position over the years. Albo has denied its a demotion and has also been accused of demoting a leadership rival, for her part Plibersek has said she is happy with the switch to that of Environment Minister which occurred after the Greens won the seat of the former Labor shadow minister for the environment in Terri Butler.
Most of Albo's front bench got their preferred ministry so I find it odd that such a senior high profile female Labor polly  like Plibersek didnt...

Can't please everyone all the time.

Maybe he rates her work and wants her to focus on the environment which is largely overlooked by australian governments regardless of which side of the fence you are on.

I thought you would want to please one your most senior female ministers who has helped you get elected, Education is seen as the more senior role and Plibersek has been a strong respected advocate for Labor over the years in this area.
Interesting how Labor have two departments crossing over with Chris Bowen in charge of Climate Change and Energy and Plibersek looking after Environment and Water...

How could you put a person who body shames another person, in effect behaving like a social media type bully, in charge of educating our children?

Probably paying for voldemort faux par.

All it did was gain a bit of sympathy for Dutton.

Because they're no different to the Liberals despite what they preach. Mav is right, don't hold them to higher standards.

It seems strawman enthusiasts are never so happy as when they make up promises they claim have been broken. Even before the election, the claim was made on this site that Albo had promised to increase minimum wages by 5% even though no such promise was made. As has been stressed by reasonable observers, only the FWC has the power to do that. Now we have a false assertion that Albo promised to stop live exports within this parliamentary term. That’s just not true. Shorten promised to end live exports within 5 years (note, there was no promise to end it before the following election if he won) while Albo wouldn’t commit to any timeframe. But why let facts get in the way? Let’s just assert that Albo promised to do it more quickly than Shorten …

For the record, this is a report published by the ABC on 5 May, a fortnight before the election:
Quote
For months, shadow agriculture spokesperson Julie Collins has refused to say whether the party planned to end the live sheep trade in a policy Labor took to the last federal election.

In a statement to the ABC today, a Labor party spokesperson confirmed it would ban the trade, which they said had been waning for more than 20 years.

"An elected Albanese Labor government will phase out live sheep exports in consultation with the industry and the West Australian government on what needs to happen given this decline," the statement said.

"This includes consideration of the impacts for the entire value chain of the industry."

Before the 2019 election Labor committed to phasing out the trade over five years but has remained tight-lipped about its plans since.

Labor's spokesperson did not set a timeline for ending the trade, but said the party supported "value-adding more here in Australia to create more job opportunities".

The spokesperson said Labor would not make changes to the live cattle export trade.

Exporters, rights groups unhappy

Earlier this week the Australian Alliance for Animals said Labor had already told it of its post-election plans.

The animal rights group was also disappointed.

"They haven't put a timeline on it, so it doesn't effectively meet the policy we were putting to them of phasing out the trade within three years," spokesman Jed Goodfellow said.

Labor confirms plan to end live sheep exports if Albanese becomes PM

In other words, the animal rights activists were under no delusion that the ALP had promised to ban the trade in its first term. In fact they were well aware no such promise was being given.

It's Silly Season ;D
After elections the losers and their supporters always claim promises have been broken.
The winners usually say that they may have to temper expectations or commitments because of the mess they have been left.
