Following an expected reshuffle of governmental ministries and ministers in the wake of the 21 August 2010 federal election, The Hon Chris Bowen MP has now been appointed Minister for Immigration and Citizenship replacing Senator Chris Evans.
The Hon Chris Bowen MP previously acted as the Minister for Financial Services, Superannuation and Corporate Law and also the Minister for Human Services in the former government.
Senator Chris Evans has been shifted to the recently created Ministry of Jobs, Skills and Workplace Relations.
We are yet to see whether the appointment of The Hon Chris Bowen MP’s appointment as Minister will alter the face of the Ministry of Immigration and Citizenship.
