The Shadow Ministry of Michael O'Brien is the Coalition opposition since December 2018, opposing the Andrews government in the Parliament of Victoria. It is led by Michael O'Brien following his election as leader of the party and Victorian Leader of the Opposition on 6 December 2018.[1] The shadow cabinet is made up of the caucuses from the Liberal Party and Nationals. O'Brien's shadow ministry has seen one major reshuffle in March 2021 after a failed leadership spill by Brad Battin.[2]
