Yvette Berry's resignation prompts speculation on her replacement, with key focus on education and sports amid ongoing challenges.
Will the next ACT Labor minister please stand up? Yvette Berry's resignation in the wake of an ACT Integrity Commission investigation has sparked discussion about who will step in to replace her.
There are several contenders who will put their hands up to take over her portfolios, which included education and early childhood, homes, homeless and new suburbs and sport and recreation.
And while much of the focus will be on education - a hugely important area in Canberra - those in sporting circles were abuzz on Thursday with speculation about who will take the reins at a critical time.
Sports have been hammered by the rising cost of registration, poor quality playing fields, venue vandalism, funding battles and stalled projects from the Home of Football in Throsby to the continually delayed ice rink in Tuggeranong.
