Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says Tanya Plibersek was “very happy” to take up her new role as Minister for the Environment and Water after losing the education portfolio.

Ms Plibersek took over the environment portfolio after Labor’s shadow environment minister Terri Butler was ousted from her seat of Griffith by the Greens.

“Tanya is someone who can get things done. She’s an experienced former minister as well as a former shadow minister,” Mr Albanese said during a press conference on Tuesday.

Mr Albanese’s new ministry will contain 13 women and 19 frontbenchers - the highest representation in any Australian parliament.
