Liberal Leader Tackles Next Job as Front Bench Unveiled

Angus Taylor unveiled a new Coalition frontbench yesterday at the Centre for Independent Studies in Sydney, restoring the Nationals after a mass quit and calling it a "fresh beginning".
After weeks of infighting that included a mass Nationals resignation and Sussan Ley's ouster on Friday, Taylor framed the frontbench as a reset following the Coalition split.
Deputy leader Jane Hume was named shadow employment and industrial relations minister, Tim Wilson became shadow treasurer, Claire Chandler took finance, while Andrew Hastie, Jacinta Nampjinpa Price, and Nationals members Bridget McKenzie, Susan McDonald, and Ross Cadell returned to the shadow cabinet.
Facing pressure as late as Monday, Taylor resisted calls to further punish moderates and shaped the frontbench to revive economic credentials and counter One Nation and community independents.
Taylor told ABC 'Frankly, I don't know what the document is' about the leaked migration plan, which proposed removing up to 100,000 asylum seekers.
