PREMIER Jay Weatherill this morning unveiled his new Cabinet. Here is the list from his official news release.

The Premier has taken on the roles of Treasurer, Minister for the Public Sector and Minister for the Arts.

Former Treasurer Jack Snelling has taken on Health and Ageing, Mental Health and Substance Abuse, following John Hill's retirement from Cabinet and he will retain Defence Industries and Veterans Affairs.

Minister Tom Koutsantonis has taken on Transport and Infrastructure and Housing and Urban Development, following Patrick Conlon's retirement from Cabinet and has retained Minerals and Resources.

Former Police Minister Jennifer Rankine has taken on the portfolio of Education and Child Development and has retained the Multicultural Affairs portfolio.

Member for Light Tony Piccolo has come into Cabinet to take on the Communities and Social Inclusion, Social Housing, Disabilities, Youth and Volunteers portfolios.

Member for Mawson Leon Bignell has also come into Cabinet and will take on the Tourism and Recreation and Sport portfolios.

Deputy Premier and Attorney General John Rau has picked up Industrial Relations along with his portfolios of Planning, Business Services and Consumers.

Agriculture, Food and Fisheries Minister Gail Gago has taken on the Local Government portfolio in addition to her portfolios of Regional Development and Status of Women.

Finance Minister Michael O'Brien has taken on Police, Correctional Services, Emergency Services and Road Safety.

Minister Grace Portolesi has taken on Employment, Higher Education and Skills and Science and Information Economy.

Minister Tom Kenyon has taken on Manufacturing, Innovation and Trade and Small Business.

Minister Chloe Fox has retained the Transport Service portfolio and will assist the Premier in the Arts.

Minister Ian Hunter takes on Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Water and the River Murray and Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, following the retirement from Cabinet of Paul Caica.

"This is the new team that will govern this State not just to the next election but for the next five years," Mr Weatherill said.

"It is the team that I have chosen."

"These are challenging times the effects of the global financial crisis are still being seen around the world and here.

There are real concerns for South Australian workers and their families.

They are uppermost in my mind and so it is appropriate that I as leader take on this challenge.

Bringing together my State Development and Treasury roles means we will be best-placed to seize on the opportunities that present themselves to bring about investment in jobs for South Australians and to respond to the challenges that threaten those jobs.

The biggest of those challenges is to make sure that the Liberals don't get to slash 25,000 public sector jobs.

Make no mistake there is a real choice for South Australia in the next election: a government that believes in investing in jobs to support workers and their families and a Liberal Opposition determined to slash 25,000 jobs, wreck the economy and deny thousands of South Australians the services they rely upon."

Mr Weatherill said a number of Ministers were stepping up to very big challenges.

"We have an excellent healthcare system but the key challenge is affordability how to maintain an excellent healthcare system with the ever increasing demands of an ageing population," he said.

"This is an enormous challenge and Jack Snelling is best suited to meet this challenge."

"Tom Koutsantonis' energy and drive and the success he has had in his current portfolios make him an ideal choice to take on the important Transport and Infrastructure portfolio.

One of my key priorities is ensuring that all children have the chance to be all that they can be and as a former Child Protection Minister and Parliamentary Secretary for early childhood, Minister Rankine is well-placed to advance this important agenda."

Mr Weatherill welcomed Tony Piccolo and Leon Bignell to Cabinet.

"Tony Piccolo has spent most of his working life whether in Local Government or as an MP working with communities, which gives him a solid background for taking on Communities and Social Inclusion, Social Housing, Youth and Volunteers," he said.

"As a former sports journalist, Mr Bignell will take on the areas of Sport and Recreation and Tourism, with a particular focus on securing the Tour Down Under after 2015 and ensuring the exciting possibilities of Adelaide Oval are fully realised."
