Announcement as Shadow Minister for Communications

Today, Melissa McIntosh has been appointed by Opposition Leader Peter Dutton to Shadow Cabinet as the Shadow Minister for Communications, and Shadow Minister for Western Sydney.

Mrs McIntosh said she is thrilled with the opportunity to work with her Shadow Cabinet colleagues in her new portfolio of Communications, to stand up for free speech, and protect the safety of Australian children online, as two top priorities.

“I thank opposition leader Peter Dutton for the opportunity to join Shadow Cabinet, as we take the fight to Labor at the election in coming months,” Mrs McIntosh said. 

“Having a Shadow Cabinet Minister oversee the Western Sydney portfolio demonstrates the Opposition Leader’s commitment to our region, and allows me to advocate further for the infrastructure we deserve. Only a Dutton Coalition Government will get Western Sydney back on track.”
