Scott Morrison (Cook, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

I have the honour to inform the House that following the election held on 18 May 2019 the Governor-General commissioned me to form a government. Ministers and assistant ministers were appointed on 29 May 2019. For the information of honourable members, I present a list of the full ministry. The document lists all ministers and assistant ministers and the offices they hold. It shows those ministers who comprise the cabinet and provides details of representation arrangements in each chamber. I understand the document will be included in the Votes and Proceedings and in Hansard.

The document read as follows—

MORRISON MINISTRY

Each box represents a portfolio. Cabinet Ministers are shown in bold type. As a general rule, there is one department in each portfolio. The title of a department does not necessarily reflect the title of a minister in all cases. Ministers are sworn to administer the portfolio in which they are listed under the ‘Minister' column and may also be sworn to administer other portfolios in which they are not listed. Assistant Ministers in italics are designated as Parliamentary Secretaries under the Ministers of State Act 1952.

I would like to inform the House that the honourable member for Forde has been appointed Chief Government Whip and that the honourable members for Grey and Boothby have been appointed government whips.
