The nomination of former prime minister Kevin Rudd as a candidate for secretary-general of the United Nations was a key issue on the agenda of a cabinet meeting on 28 July 2016. Scott Morrison, Peter Dutton and Mathias Cormann are among the ministers who opposed nominating Rudd, although Foreign Minister Julie Bishop supports his nomination. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will decide whether Rudd should be nominated to succeed Ban Ki-moon. He intends to consult with Rudd and senior members of the Coalition before making a decision.
