Acting Agriculture and Fisheries Minister Bill Byrne<\/figcaption><\/figure>November 4, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police Minister Bill Byrne has been appointed Acting Agriculture and Fisheries Minister in the wake of Thursday night’s sudden resignation by Leanne Donaldson.<\/p>\n

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said on Friday Mr Byrne would continue in his roles as Police and Corrective Services Minister.<\/p>\n

\u201cBill served as Agriculture and Fisheries Minister last year and he has worked closely with stakeholders across our primary industries,\u201d Premier Palaszczuk said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy government is making an historic commitment to primary industries, whether it is providing greater access to financial assistance for producers, or restoring our biosecurity preparedness and combatting wild dogs to support the sheep and wool industry, or new management arrangements for sustainable fishing, or advancing agriculture and fisheries through research and development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Byrne served as Agriculture Minister from February to December 2015.<\/p>\n

Prior to becoming an MP, he was a Major in the Army and is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
