Prominent members of the opposition party (6,7)

I believe the answer is:

shadow cabinet

(Other definitions for shadow cabinet that I've seen before include "part of the front bench" , "leading members of the opposition" , "MPs of ministerial rank in Opposition" , "Opposition front bench" , "Opposition frontbenchers" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
