Prime Minister-elect Tony Abbott says his new ministry is one of the most experienced in the coalition’s history and reflects some significant promotions.
Mr Abbott announced his cabinet and outer ministry team in Canberra on Monday, nine days after the coalition’s election win over Labor.
“This is the team to provide strong and stable government,” he told reporters.
“This is one of the most experienced incoming ministries in our history.”
Mr Abbott said the new government’s task was to “calmly” implement the commitments it made to the Australian people during the election campaign.
“You’ll see there is enormous stability in this team but there has been as well some significant promotions,” he added.
