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

I table a revised ministry list. I seek leave to have the list incorporated in Hansard.

Leave granted.

The document read as follows—

TURNBULL MINISTRY    24 January 2017

Each box represents a portfolio. Cabinet Ministers are shown in bold type. As a general rule, there is one department in each portfolio. However, there is a Department of Human Services in the Social Services portfolio and a Department of Veterans' Affairs in the Defence portfolio. The title of a department does not necessarily reflect the title of a minister in all cases. Assistant Ministers in italics are designated as Parliamentary Secretaries under the Ministers of State Act 1952.

I take this opportunity to congratulate those who were appointed to new positions on 24 January—Mr Hunt, Senator Sinodinos, Dr Gillespie and Mr Sukkar—and, in particular, note that the member for Hasluck, Ken Wyatt, who was appointed to the ministry, is the first Indigenous Australian to be appointed to the ministry in a Commonwealth government.
