Prime Minister Scott Morrison has unveiled a raft of changes to the cabinet with Kelly O’Dwyer stepping into the role of Minister for Jobs and Industrial Relations.

Formerly minister for financial services and revenue, Kelly O’Dwyer is now Minister for Jobs and Industrial Relations, while staying on as Minister for Women. Zed Seselja has taken on the role of Assistant Minister for Treasury and Finance.

Mr Seselja is one of several pro-Dutton politicians to take up a role in Mr Morrison’s cabinet, having told Fairfax Media last week that Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton could “connect with people in large parts of Australia”.
