Shadow Ministry of Bill Hayden

The Shadow Ministry of Bill Hayden was the opposition Australian Labor Party shadow ministry of Australia from 29 December 1977 to 3 February 1983, opposing Malcolm Fraser's Coalition ministry.

The shadow cabinet is a group of senior Opposition spokespeople who form an alternative cabinet of Australia, the members of which shadow or mark each individual minister or portfolio of the government.

Bill Hayden became Leader of the Opposition upon his election as leader of the Labor Party on 22 December 1977, and his first shadow cabinet was appointed. A second, rearranged shadow cabinet led by Hayden was appointed after Labor lost the 1980 election.
