Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Monday announced the cabinet of his second term before a swearing-in ceremony with Governor-General Sam Mostyn on Tuesday.
"I intend to recommend to the Governor-General, Her Excellency, Sam Mostyn, the following make-up of the ministry to be sworn in tomorrow at 9 a.m. It will be followed by a full ministry meeting here in Parliament House," Albanese said.
He said Labor has the largest caucus in history since the federation.
As of Monday, Labor was on track to win a clear majority of around 93 of the 150 seats in the lower house of parliament, as 83.9 percent of votes had been counted while five more seats remain "in doubt," according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Labor has never previously held more than 90 seats in the lower house of parliament and no party has ever held more than 94.
Announcing his new cabinet, Albanese said it will be "a caucus brimming with capacity, talent and energy in both the House of Representatives and the Senate."
"For the entire caucus going forward to put in place the agenda that we put forward positively to the Australian people and an ambitious agenda to change this country for the better," he said, adding "I am deeply humbled by the trust that was put into my government with the election and we certainly won't take it for granted."
Albanese has urged the elected members of his Labor Party to maintain a focus on working for all Australians after winning re-election, during the Labor caucus convened last Friday.
