The Queensland government is set to announce changes to its cabinet team after incoming premier Stephen Miles is sworn in on Friday. Treasurer Cameron Dick will become deputy premier after his Right faction agreed to support Miles over rival Left faction candidate Shannon Fentiman. The latter withdrew from contention after union powerbrokers negotiated a factional agreement in return for an industrial deal over government-funded infrastructure projects. Miles says his priorities will include the cost of living, health, housing, infrastructure and the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games. His first initiative will be a 12-month freeze on vehicle registrations, which will take effect from mid-2024.
