As printed beside their name in the Assembly’s Minutes of Proceedings, up to 22 October 2026. Speaker, Deputy Speaker, Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition dates are the dates the Minutes give. Other dates are the first and last sitting day the title was printed, so they are approximate. A portfolio that hasn't been named since the ministry last changed (tabled 15 September 2026) isn't listed as current, so this list can be short. Review in progress.
