reshuffle
vt. rearrange
front bench n. long seat in the British Parliament where ministers and Opposition leaders sit
Opposition Leader Kim Beazley has bowed to irresistible pressure to reshuffle his team, restoring Victorian MP Lindsay Tanner to the front bench and dumping the underperforming Laurie Ferguson from immigration.
After a week with his back to the wall, Mr Beazley last night held a special caucus meeting to expand the shadow ministry to accommodate Mr Tanner, who quit when Mark Latham refused to make him shadow treasurer.
A strong critic of Labor's performance, Mr Tanner was expected to get the finance role.
