Federal Deputy Opposition Leader Tania Plibersek will become the shadow minister for foreign affairs, under Labor’s new line-up.
Plibersek replaces Labor’s former foreign affairs spokesperson in government, Senator Bob Carr.
As expected, Chris Bowen becomes shadow treasurer.
But Penny Wong has given up her previous portfolio to Tony Burke, who becomes shadow minister for finance.
Wong now takes responsibility for trade and investment, against the government’s Andrew Robb.

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten says the new ministry line-up is both “energetic and diverse”.
Half of the ministry are women and there are more working parents in the shadow executive than ever before.
“All of us have a child aged six or under,” Shorten told reporters in Canberra on Friday.
Shorten also said his team represented generational change within federal Labor.
“There is more Gen X in this shadow line-up than has existed before in Australian politics,” he said.
“But this is balanced … with both experience in government and in opposition.”
Labor’s new defence spokesman is Stephen Conroy, who was previously communications minister under former prime minister Julia Gillard.
Conroy will be assisted by fellow senator David Feeney.
Shorten’s challenger for the leadership, Anthony Albanese, will oversee infrastructure and transport, as well as tourism.
Plibersek, who as deputy was able to choose her portfolio, said she picked foreign affairs because it was “an area I’ve had a long interest in”.
“I was particularly interested in the international development part of the foreign affairs portfolio,” she said.
“And the Centenary of Anzac, again, is something that I’ve had a particular interest in.”
Shorten said defence policy was very important and a senior portfolio.
“Senator Conroy has a great skill set in the Senate, it’s where the government’s spokesperson for defence is and I think it will be one of the very important and interesting match-ups,” he said.
He said Albanese had been given the added responsibility of tourism because it is important to both job creation and regional Australia.
Taking the fight to the government on climate change is Mark Butler, who will be assisted by Victorian senator Louise Pratt.
Butler had done some very good work as climate change minister before the election, Shorten said.
“It is important to have some continuity and will be one of the early important debates about where this country is going in our future,” Shorten said.
Shorten said the new Labor team was a break from the past.
He discounted former minister Nicola Roxon’s assessment that he and Plibersek would never get a fair run as long as former prime minister Kevin Rudd remained in the parliament.
“I believe we’ll get a fair go and I believe part of that’s due to the way we implement ideas, the way we work constructively,” Shorten said.
“Our future is up to the conduct of the parliamentary party and the broader Labor party.”
