Source:Scott Morrison has confirmed he will name Anne Ruston his new health and aged care minister should the Coalition be re-elected.Senator Ruston, who is currently the social services minister, will replace Greg Hunt, who is retiring from politics.
Senator Hume, who is minister for superannuation and financial services, is reported to be Senator Ruston's replacement in social services, but she was coy on the issue. "I do know that the prime minister had said that this was not going to be a day of usual campaigning. And that he has chosen, the government has chosen, to make a very significant announcement today of the appointment of a new health minister, should the government be re-elected," he said.
Mr Hunt said the deal will see the delivery of new health services for children as well as support for people following a suicide attempt, and those with eating disorders. When asked about her own views, Ms Payne said she does not share those of Ms Deves, but declined several times to answer whether she believes she should be dropped as the Liberal candidate."But Ms Deves has apologised for those remarks. She has withdrawn those remarks. And that’s the most important thing as she continues as the candidate there in Warringah. She has made that apology clear.
