After winning the federal election, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced his new ministry with some new faces.


The Prime Minister has announced a ministry of forty people.

That's twenty-two members of cabinet - the inner sanctum of the ministry - and eighteen assistant ministers or members of the outer ministry.

Many of those in the major portfolios keep their previous roles- for instance, Josh Frydenberg as Treasurer, Matias Cormann as Finance Minister, Peter Dutton as Home Affairs Minister, and David Coleman as Immigration Minister.

But some have more responsibilities.

Marise Payne keeps her job as Foreign Affairs minister, but will also now be Minister for Women.

Likewise, Christian Porter retains his job as Attorney-General, but is also now Industrial Relations minister.

Western Australia's Ken Wyatt becomes the first Indigenous Minister for Indigenous Affairs.
