Shadow Ministry of Malcolm Fraser

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shadow Ministry of Malcolm Fraser was the opposition Coalition shadow ministry of Australia from 26 March to 11 November 1975, opposing Gough Whitlam's Labor Whitlam ministry.

The shadow ministry is a group of senior opposition spokespeople who form an alternative ministry to the government's, whose members shadow or mark each individual Minister or portfolio of the Government.

Malcolm Fraser became Leader of the Opposition upon his election as leader of the Liberal Party of Australia on 21 March 1975 and appointed a new Shadow Ministry.
