Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbulls line-up is not without its critics from both within and without his own party.
More than two weeks after the election, Mr Turnbull and his 23 Cabinet ministers have finally been presented in Canberra to Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove.
The 23-member Cabinet is the largest since Gough Whitlam's government in the 1970s.
Mr Turnbull has stayed mostly with the same ministers he took to the federal election but has appointed several new ministerial positions.
The moves include designating Christopher Pyne as defence-industry minister.
That appointment has led to concerns Mr Pyne's new job of overseeing the nation's 50-billion-dollar, naval-shipbuilding program could favour his home state of South Australia.
The Prime Minister has stripped Kelly O'Dwyer of the small-business portfolio and made it a non-Cabinet position in the hands of Nationals MP Michael McCormack.
Labor frontbencher Brendan O'Connor says he thinks Mr Turnbull has made a grave error by omitting the small-business portfolio from Cabinet.
There has been criticism, too, for the new assistant multicultural-affairs minister, Zed Seselja, (zeh-ZEL-juh) and his attitude towards the Racial Discrimination Act.
Senator Seselja said last year he supported a Family First bill which would remove the words "offend" and "insult" from Section 18C of the act.
Opposition foreign-affairs spokeswoman Tanya Plibersek says the decisions by Mr Turnbull regarding his frontbench demonstrate the problems he will face in the future.
There will, however, be a wait to see how the ministers perform in parliament.
