The Liberal/National coalition Party leader Turnbull was sworn in as Australia’s 29th Prime Minister by the Governor General Peter Cosgrove in Government house in Canberra.
Turnbull broadly stuck with the team of ministers the prime minister took to the federal election but has handed some cabinet members new roles. Said to be one of the largest frontbenches in Australian history that include 23 ministers, the cabinet has been described by Turnbull as the team to “deliver a strong and secure future”.
