Chief Minister Andrew Barr has reshuffled his cabinet following the resignation of Sports Minister Yvette Berry, who stepped down after an investigation revealed serious corruption involving her former chief of staff.Chris Steel has been appointed as the new Sports Minister, taking over from Berry, while Rachel Stephen-Smith will serve as Barr's deputy.

Berry's departure leaves a significant gap in support for women's sports, particularly for Canberra United and the Canberra Capitals, which received record funding.

The new minister faces challenges including vandalism of sports facilities, stalled projects like Throsby's Home of Football and an ice rink in Tuggeranong, and demands for upgrades to community sports infrastructure.Barr emphasized the government's focus on building infrastructure, public services, and economic opportunities to support Canberra's growth.The reshuffle highlights ongoing efforts to address sporting challenges while maintaining leadership in innovation and development.
