“Each ofxjmtzyw these chief executives will bring their exceptional talent and experience to the task and I am confident they will help deliver my government’s agenda over the next four years,” he said.

“We have a significant agenda and no time to waste, so I am pleased we have been able to make these changes so quickly.

“I would like to personally thank Nick Reade, Leone Muldoon, Tony Braxton-Smith and Chris McGowan for their service to the state and wish them well as they embark on their new paths.”

McGowan’s cards appeared marked for departure within hours of Labor’s election win last month, when the incoming Premier and his Health Minister Chris Picton declined to guarantee his tenure.
