Australia's 閣僚 sworn in after 狭くする 選挙 victory
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) ― Australia's new 閣僚 was sworn in Tuesday, but the 保守的な 政府 will have the slimmest of 大多数s when 議会 opens next month.
総理大臣 Malcolm Turnbull's 閣僚 will have only minor changes after two 大臣s in the last 閣僚 lost their seats in July 2 選挙s.
The 政府 has a 大多数 of just one seat in the 150-seat 衆議院, where parties with a 大多数 form the 政府.

Turnbull 拒絶する／低下するd to say whether the political leaning of his new leadership team had changed. He defended his 試みる／企てる to 最小限に減らす changes to the 閣僚 he 任命するd いっそう少なく than a year ago.
"I'm not going to put '保守的な 'or '穏健な' or '自由主義の' tags on my 同僚s," Turnbull said on Monday. "I have made big changes to the 省 only a few months ago."
Two 大臣s who supported Turnbull's 倒す of Abbott in an 内部の party 対決 in September ― Peter Hendy and Wyatt Roy ― were の中で the more than a dozen 自由主義の lawm akers who lost their seats. The 国家のs ― a more 保守的な, 田舎の-based party ― 増加するd their seats in the 衆議院 by one to 16.
