One thought on “Kevin Rudd’s New Ministry: The full list

  1. Congratulations to the new Rudd Ministry and government.Very pleased to see some new fresh faces of female ministers as well as some of the old ones. So heartened by the bounce from the polls and trust they will keep on heading up.
    Australia can not afford to let a Tony Abbott liberal party destroy all the good work that the Julia Gillard government successfully put through the parliament and although my entire family applauded Julia we are so pleased that Kevin will pull Labor across the line to squash the Liberals and lead our nation forward.
    We await more viewing of parliament proceedings with eager anticipation.
