At least five Assistant Ministers are expected to be elevated to cabinet, with Charis Mullen, Bart Mellish, Michael Healy, Lance McCallum and Nikki Boyd flagged as those most likely to be promoted.

Here’s what we know.

STAYING

Deputy Premier Steven Miles

Queensland’s 40th Premier. Endorsed by Annastacia Palaszczuk Palaszczuk and installed with union assistance.

Treasurer Cameron Dick

Struck a deal with Mr Miles to be Deputy Premier and remain treasurer. Now the longest-serving minister of the government.

Education and Industrial Relations Minister Grace Grace

A kingmaker in making Mr Miles Premier and will remain in cabinet.

Attorney-General Yvette D’Ath

A fierce advocate for Annastacia Palaszczuk to the end, tipped to remain in cabinet but the portfolio is uncertain.

Health Minister Shannon Fentiman

Will stay as the health minister after mounting a challenge to become Premier.

Shannon Fentiman is set to remain as health minister.

Police Minister Mark Ryan

Considered by most colleagues to be doing a “good job”. Linked to becoming the Attorney-General, but it is understood not to want it.

Energy and Public Works Minister Mick de Brenni

The second-highest ranking UWU member behind the new Premier, who he backs. De Brenni is likely to see his portfolio expand. He might take State Development

Housing Minister Meaghan Scanlon

Long viewed as a rising star and her prospects will rise further in the renewed cabinet. Tipped to keep her ministry but could also gain planning from Mr Miles.

Resources Minister Scott Stewart

Missed most of this week’s action in the United States on a trade mission. The Townsville-based former school principal will likely keep his portfolios.

Glenn Butcher is whispered to be Queensland’s new Police Minister.

Water Minister Glenn Butcher

A quiet achiever who is whispered to be the new Police Minister.

Agriculture Minister Mark Furner

An underrated master of politics, Mr Furner faces calls to go from the cabinet to achieve renewal, but resonates with some as the self-appointed “farmer’s friend”.

Treaty and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships Minister Leeanne Enoch

Safe in her current portfolio and will play a crucial role in 2024 as the Miles government proceeds with treaty.

Environment Minister Leanne Linard

Part of the Old Guard faction, which proportionally does the heaviest lifting on providing the cabinet with capable women. Likely to keep her portfolios.

Employment and Youth Justice Minister Minister Di Farmer

An Old Guard faction member, Ms Farmer is likely to remain in the cabinet and is tipped to keep the youth justice challenge.

GOING

Won’t get a role in cabinet, and has informed Mr Miles he is not expecting one.
