Member for Mildura, Jade Benham, has been appointed Shadow Assistant Minister for Agriculture and Regional Development, as part of Jess Wilson’s new Shadow Cabinet announcement.
Ms Benham said she was honoured to take on these responsibilities, which align closely with the needs and priorities of the Mallee and wider regional Victoria.
“It’s an incredible privilege to be asked to take on this role. Agriculture is the backbone of our community and one I have championed for a long time. It’s rewarding to see my hard work recognised,” Ms Benham said.
She said the appointment recognised the importance of regional voices at the decision-making table and the need for stronger advocacy after years of neglect and under-investment.
Ms Benham thanked the Victorian Nationals leadership for their confidence in her.
