Three ministers were demoted to junior posts—former Minister for Education Ljiljanna Ravlich, former Minister for Resources John Bowler and former Minister for Indigenous Affairs Sheila McHale.
Kim Chance adopted the portfolios before they were reassigned to Ljiljanna Ravlich, who was promoted from parliamentary secretary to Minister on 21 September 2004.
The core view of this group was their disagreement with the former Western Australian Minister for Education (Ljiljanna Ravlich) in respect to her commitment to implement OBE.
