Jane Poole-Wilson hoping to build on work as MLC

The new justice and home affairs minister says she’ll be focussed on 'outcomes' but is 'mindful' of the responsibility that comes with the post.

Jane Poole-Wilson was appointed to the Council of Ministers yesterday.

She was also made deputy chief minister and will deputise for Alfred Cannan if he is ever unavailable.

Mrs Poole-Wilson, who was a non-practising solicitor before becoming an MLC in 2017, says she feels 'privileged' to take on the work she's already been doing:
