SHORTLY after being sworn in as the new Minister for Women, Tanya Davies revealed her private views on abortion.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s new-look cabinet was officially sworn in on Monday and has already been causing controversy.

The 23-strong front bench team features a minister for women who’s privately opposed to abortion and a multiculturalism minister who believes all non-indigenous Australians are essentially immigrants.

Immediately after taking her oath of service at Government House, Ms Davies revealed her views on abortion.

“I am pro-life personally, but in my role I’m there to support all women,” the Liberal MP said.

That’s prompted feminist group Women’s Electoral Lobby to voice concerns, saying the overwhelming majority of NSW residents were pro-choice.

“And we would want a minister for women who is prepared to trust women and doctors to make personal medical decisions,” Claire Pullen from the group told the ABC.

Labor MP Penny Sharpe also urged caution.

“Women’s reproductive rights in NSW must not go backwards,” she tweeted.

But Ms Berejiklian quickly shut down the possibility of reform to abortion policy in NSW, after Ms Davis declined to rule anything out when asked what she would like to change.

“Can I just stress on that point that there is obviously no change in policy in relation to those issues,” Ms Berejiklian said.

Meanwhile, new Multiculturalism Minister Ray Williams has come out in strong support of immigrants when quizzed about US President Donald Trump’s temporary ban on visas for travellers from seven Muslim-majority countries.

Mr Williams said he was proud of NSW’s diverse communities.

“Unless you are our indigenous brothers and sisters, then you all came here at some time,” he said.

NSW also now has its first counter terrorism minister in David Elliot, while Stuart Ayres was formally appointed minister of the newly-created portfolio solely responsible for Sydney’s WestConnex motorway project.

Veteran MP Brad Hazzard is now health minister and former planning minister Rob Stokes has replaced dumped Nationals MP Adrian Piccoli in the education portfolio.
