Five new faces added, with Mr Nicholls' supporters rewarded Ousted leader Lawrence Springborg nominated for Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee chair

There are five new faces on Mr Nicholls frontbench and some notable omissions.

Ousted leader Lawrence Springborg is not part of the new-look shadow cabinet, instead putting his first choice down as chair of the Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee (PCCC), a move which will have to be approved by the Labor Government.

But Deputy Premier Jackie Trad indicated on Monday afternoon the Government would be reluctant to ditch the current chair.

Ms Trad said the committee had been through enough turmoil in recent years.

"The LNP has got a chair of the PCCC and Trevor Watts is doing a very fine job," she said.

"This is not about Trevor doing a good job, this is about politics. So I think it's time for the PCCC to settle down and do its job."

One notable shift in the LNP's frontbench is the elevation of Scott Emerson to the position of shadow treasurer.

Mr Nicholls' other public supporters, Ros Bates, Michael Hart and Tracy Davis, who flanked him heading into Friday's ballot, have also enjoyed promotions.

Former Newman government minister Ms Davis goes from communities to education, and Ms Bates from deputy whip to communities and child safety.

Mr Hart has been elevated to the frontbench for the first time, and will take on the energy and water supply portfolio.

Other new faces are Burdekin's Dale Last and Dr Christian Rowan, while veteran and former deputy premier Jeff Seeney becomes leader of opposition business.

New deputy leader Deb Frecklington will hold the position of infrastructure, state development, trade and investment — going toe-to-toe with Deputy Premier Jackie Trad.

Her predecessor John-Paul Langbroek, who stood aside in the spill, will take on the health and Commonwealth Games portfolios.

Ex-attorney-general Jarrod Bleijie will go from police spokesman to industrial relations.

Mark McArdle, Rob Molhoek and Jann Stuckey were dumped from the shadow cabinet.

"Unfortunately I only have 18 positions in the shadow cabinet," Mr Nicholls said.

"We are determined to hold this incompetent Labor/independent/Katter Party government to account."

The LNP's Trevor Watts will be forced to step aside if Mr Springborg is appointed chair of the PCCC.

"I indicated to Lawrence that I would be prepared to appoint him to any position that he thought would suit him. He very much indicated that would be his [preference]," Mr Nicholls said.

"I'm very grateful to Lawrence for taking up that role, and in doing so of course allowing me some more freedom to make some changes to the shadow cabinet."

The PCCC chair is the only non-Government committee chair position appointed by the Opposition, but must get bipartisan support.

A spokesperson for the government said the LNP has not consulted them.

Deputy Premier Jackie Trad said Mr Watts is doing a fine job.

"So I think it's time for the PCCC to settle down and do its job," she said.

Mr Springborg said he had the skills for the role, but acknowledged he had not been fully endorsed yet.

"I am the nominee by our parliamentary leader and it will be up to the Government and all members of Parliament to see if that's acceptable," he said.
