“I am honoured to be reappointed the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government in the second term Albanese Labor Government, and I thank the Prime Minister for his continued support,” King says.
During her previous term, King oversaw significant projects, including the development of the Western Sydney International Airport and the release of the national aviation white paper in 2024. Her reappointment signals a commitment to ongoing infrastructure investment and regional development.
“We have a significant agenda for our second term, including: establishing a robust consumer aviation protection regime, preserving regional aviation and driving competition in the sector; driving productivity in construction and across our supply chains; getting on with Melbourne Airport Rail, fixing Queensland’s Bruce Highway, finishing Western Sydney International, and much more,” she says.
“I look forward to continuing to work with an impressive team of Ministers to progress this important work.
“The Australian people have put their trust in us and we look forward to delivering on our commitments.”
