The Opposition Front Bench is a group of senior Opposition spokespeople who are regarded as the alternative Cabinet to the Cabinet of Australia, whose members shadow or mark each individual Minister or portfolio of the Government. Neither the Shadow Cabinet nor the Shadow Ministers have any official status in the Parliament of Australia. The Shadow Cabinet's membership is determined by the rules and practices of the Opposition party.
During this term, Michelle Rowland and Katy Gallagher was promoted to the Shadow Cabinet. The final arrangement of the Shadow Ministry prior to the 2016 election was announced in October 2015.[1]
