Exclusive: Senate to gain two frontbenchers with PM expected to give NT senator the Indigenous affairs job and skills post to NSW senator

Anthony Albanese is set to promote two senators into his ministry, the Northern Territory’s Malarndirri McCarthy and Jenny McAllister from New South Wales, as part of a limited frontbench reshuffle to be confirmed on Sunday.

The prime minister is expected to promote McCarthy and McAllister from their assistant ministerial roles into the ministry proper, after announcing on Thursday that two of his current ministers are stepping down.
