Two high-ranking ministers are anticipated to lose their roles in a government reshuffle as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese advises Labor Members of Parliament to avoid becoming too self-centered.
Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus is projected to be replaced by his Victorian right faction peers, favoring Sam Rae, a notable supporter of Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles.
Industry Minister Ed Husic also faces losing his position to balance the representation between Victoria and NSW.

Labor’s ministry and cabinet are divided among the states and the opposing factions based on their share of seats.

The more progressive left, from which has edged ahead of the right after the election, with more of its candidates winning seats.

However, the ministry quota arrangement has triggered a dispute between Victorian members and those from NSW, with the former seeking additional representation.

New faces and leadership ballots

New blood in the ministry will likely include Tim Ayres from NSW, as well as Ged Kearney and Daniel Mulino from Victoria.
Labor will hold its first caucus on Friday, and the new-look cabinet is expected to be sworn in on Tuesday.
Albanese says Labor must approach its second term with humility and solidarity.
“No individual is greater than the collective, and that includes myself,” he told Sky News on Thursday.

“When you’re focused inwards, the electorate will mark you down.”

The Liberals and Greens also need to endorse new leaders, with Peter Dutton voted out and
Shadow treasurer Angus Taylor and deputy leader Sussan Ley are locked in a numbers battle for the Liberal leadership.
Party warrior and ex-Victorian premier Jeff Kennett has backed Ley, saying the Liberals need a woman in the top job.
“She has experience, she’s been a loyal deputy, but it’s time for the Liberal party to have a different perspective on life, and that I think would come through a female,” he told ABC radio on Thursday.
Kennett also slammed the coalition’s election campaign.

“The nicest word I could use would be disappointing – it could be a lot more extreme,” he said.

‘Graceful silence’

Dutton, who lost his seat of Dickson in Queensland, arrived in Canberra on Wednesday to clear out his parliamentary office.
He has so far refused to weigh in on his replacement, saying it was best that former leaders “maintain a graceful silence”.
Regardless of the Liberal leader, the shadow cabinet makeup is likely to remain the same despite concerns the Nationals could be forced to demote a member due to the new balance of seats within the coalition.

The junior coalition partner constitutes nearly a third of the party room. Although some outcomes remain uncertain, they maintain a majority of their members following several Liberal defeats.

This means the Nationals are likely to keep their seven shadow cabinet spots and maintain their influence in key policy areas, after being previously over-represented.
The Nationals will also need to find a new deputy leader, with Perin Davey set to lose her NSW Senate spot.
No one has officially announced a tilt, but NSW MP Kevin Hogan and senators Bridget McKenzie and Jacinta Nampijinpa Price have been raised as potential deputies.
Nationals MPs will hold a caucus meeting in Canberra on Monday but a date is yet to be set for the Liberals meeting, with more than half a dozen seats too close to call.
Nationals leader David Littleproud retained his seat but needs to be endorsed again as the party spills all leadership roles after each election. He is expected to keep his job.
