The shadow ministry of Angus Taylor is the shadow cabinet of Australia from February 2026, in opposition to the Albanese government. The shadow ministry is the Opposition's alternative to the Albanese ministry.
The shadow ministry was appointed by Angus Taylor following the 2026 Liberal Party of Australia leadership spill on 13 February 2026, where he defeated incumbent leader Sussan Ley 34 votes to 17.[1] Following the vote, Ley announced her intention to resign from Parliament, triggering a by-election in her seat of Farrer.[2] Jane Hume was elected as deputy, defeating incumbent Ted O'Brien in the final ballot 30 votes to 20.[3]
