and familiar faces from the Coalition like  are gone, who will the new senior members of parliament be under Labor? Albanese is obviously top of the chart as PM. He was sworn in alongside his four most senior members of parliament who now have temporary control of every portfolio (ie defence, energy, transport etc) before Labor finalises its cabinet. Normally all ministers are sworn in at once but Albanese has to fly to Tokyo this morning. The process has been pushed forward so he can at least have a Deputy PM to be in charge while he’s overseas. Under Morrison our Deputy PM was , who remains leader of the Nationals. Our new Deputy PM is who is the representative for the regional seat of Corio in Victoria. He will also be the was sworn in next as leader of the Senate and the Minister for Foreign Affairs. She will also be Australia’s first foreign affairs minister who was not born in Australia but immigrated.  from Logan, Queensland is our new Federal Treasurer.  from the ACT was also sworn is as Minister for Finance, Minister for Women and Attorney-General. Neither Chalmers nor Gallagher held cabinet roles in the previous Labor government, so this is a big promotion for them. The rest of the cabinet will be sworn in in the coming days so stay tuned for the next announcements.
