Prime Minister Scott Morrison kept the bulk of his conservative government’s ministry intact, while adding some new faces in his Cabinet after last week’s surprise Australian election win.

While promoting Paul Fletcher to the communications portfolio and Stuart Robert to manage services, Morrison on Sunday indicated he will maintain faith in the team that won a third term for his Liberal-National coalition. Josh Frydenberg will continue in the key role of treasurer and Marise Payne in foreign affairs.
