What a progressive leader (Prime Minister Rudd)!!!
| By Nick Bryant BBC News, Sydney |
He appointed his deputy leader, Julia Gillard, as education minister, and a former rock star, Midnight Oil singer Peter Garrett, as environment minister.
The Liberal Party has elected outgoing defence minister, Brendan Nelson as its new leader to replace John Howard, who was defeated in last week's election.
He beat the favourite, the outgoing environment minister Malcolm Turnbull.
Rock on
Kevin Rudd has not yet been sworn in as Australia's next prime minister, but he is impatient to tackle what he describes as the challenges of the future.
In naming his ministry, it is clear that the "three Es" are his main priority - the economy, education and the environment.
By far the most eye-catching appointment is that of Peter Garrett as environment minister.
Mr Garrett is best known as the former front man of rock group Midnight Oil, who had an international hit with the song Beds Are Burning. Mr Rudd has also created a new climate change portfolio.
Opposition changes
At the same time Mr Rudd announced his new ministry, the Liberal Party has elected a new leader to replace John Howard.
With the party's former deputy leader Peter Costello signalling his desire to pursue a career in the commercial sector, the Liberals opted for Brendan Nelson, the outgoing defence minister.
He beat the favourite, outgoing environment minister Malcolm Turnbull, by a narrow vote of 45 to 42 .
Mr Nelson likes electric guitars, fast motorbikes and used to wear an ear-ring. But his political persona is nowhere near as racy.
He is a former medical practitioner and the beleaguered Liberal Party will need all of his recuperative powers.
