New NSW Premier Nathan Rees's cabinet will be sworn-in today, as he looks at ways to address the billion dollar hole in state revenue.
Mr Rees named his new look front bench after a half hour Caucus meeting in Parliament yesterday.
Last night was spent suring up the MPs into new roles.
Among the changes, Eric Roozendaal is tipped to become Treasurer, Joe Tripodi, Finance, and David Campbell will take the reins of the new look transport portfolio.
There are six new faces in the Cabinet, which will be sworn in at Governemnt House today – but a shocked Frank Sartor, was one of yesterday’s high profile casualties.
John Della Bosca has been included despite his involvement in the Iguana nightclub scandal - he's expected to be named health minister.
Mr Rees has told News Limited he’s considering a new wave of public sector job cuts, and a new coal tax to help recoup some of the expected $1 billion in lost revenue.
Opposition Leader Barry O’Farrell says a quarter of ex-premier Morris Iemma's ministry might have changed, but the same people are still calling the shots.
Mr O’Farrell says it's a laughable team.
“The only experience that Eric Roozendaal and Joe Tripodi have with numbers is in making and breaking premiers, as they did three years ago with Iemma and last Friday with Nathan Rees.
“It’s simply providing the public with no confidence about management of the state’s economy.”
