Malcolm Turnbull (Wentworth, Liberal Party, Minister for Communications) Share this | Hansard source

As honourable members are aware, last night I was elected leader of the parliamentary Liberal Party and I have been subsequently sworn in as Prime Minister by the Governor-General today. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Hon. Julie Bishop, has also been re-elected as the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party. I can confirm that the Leader of the Nationals has confirmed the support of the Nationals in the formation of a coalition government under my leadership. I table for the information of the House a document reflecting the changed ministerial arrangements and seek leave to have the document incorporated into Hansard.
