Australian Prime Minister-elect Kevin Rudd unveiled his ministerial team today and included four women and a former rock star to the centre-left cabinet.
Australia's new environment minister, former rock singer Peter Garrett
Former academic Wayne Swan, Mr Rudd's old school friend, takes the post of treasurer, while lawyer Stephen Smith, a one-time adviser to former prime minister Paul Keating, becomes foreign minister.
Julia Gillard becomes Australia's first woman deputy prime minister and takes on the workplace relations portfolio to deliver on Mr Rudd's promise to scrap unpopular conservative labour laws.
She will also oversee Mr Rudd's schooling reforms as education minister.
Penny Wong becomes Australia's first Asian-born minister. Taking on the new climate change portfolio, she will be in charge of carrying out Labor's pledge to ratify the Kyoto Protocol.
Peter Garrett, former lead singer with Midnight Oil, becomes environment, heritage and arts minister. But he loses his hold on the climate change portfolio after embarrassing his leader with policy gaffes during the campaign.
Mr Rudd (50) swept to power in Saturday's election on a promise of generational change after more than 11 years of conservative rule under Prime Minister John Howard.
Mr Rudd and his ministers will be officially sworn in next Monday.
