27 October The governor general, General Sir Peter Cosgrove, steps out of the photograph leaving Malcolm Turnbull and Senator Matt Canavan alone with the cameras after they were both sworn in at Government House. The PM took on the agriculture and water ministries vacated by Barnaby Joyce after he lost his case in the high court and Canavan got back his old portfolios of resources and northern Australia after the court decided he had no case to answer.
