The Federal Government’s new cabinet includes five women, with Employment Minister Michaelia Cash taking on the new super portfolio of jobs and innovation. Dan Tehan will replace Christian Porter as Social Services Minister, while Porter will succeed George Brandis as Attorney-General. Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce will take over the infrastructure and transport portfolio from Victorian MP Darren Chester, who has been relegated to the backbench after declining the offer of becoming an assistant minister. Meanwhile, backbencher David Littleproud will take on Joyce’s former portfolio of agriculture.
