Prime Minister Scott Birmingham, Prime Minister, said the Prime Minister is taking his time to choose his new ministry after the surprise victory of the federal election last weekend.
"These are never easy decisions for prime ministers to create the best cabinet of the future," Senator Birmingham told Sky News on Sunday.
Morrison is expected to announce his new team Sunday in Canberra, according to information reported by Communications Minister Mitch Fifield and Environment Minister Melissa Price.
"I think all colleagues may not participate in such a process, but the Prime Minister must do what is right," said Senator Birmingham, without specifying who could participate or not.
Three positions also opened in the 22-member cabinet, Christopher Pyne, Nigel Scullion and Kelly O. Dwyer having retired following the election.
Attorney General Christian Porter will add the House leader to his workload, replacing Mr. Pyne in managing the day-to-day tactics of Parliament.
Western Australian Minister Ken Wyatt is also being urged to deal with aboriginal affairs, becoming the first Australian aboriginal to hold the position – a priority policy area for the Prime Minister for the next term.
According to the Sunday Telegraph, Alan Tudge, Jane Hume, Julian Lesser, Linda Reynolds, Arthur Sinodinos, Ben Morton and Sussan Ley are also about to be promoted.
Otherwise, the other key roles of the firm will remain unchanged.
Peter Dutton would stay at Internal Affairs, Josh Frydenberg Treasurer and Mathias Corman as Minister of Finance.
Health Minister Greg Hunt, Education Minister Dan Tehan and Foreign Minister Marise Payne are also likely to stay in their seats.
An increase in the number of Liberal MPs is expected to reduce the national cabinet ministers quota from five to four, which is calculated on a proportional basis.
That would leave Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack, National Deputy Chief Bridget McKenzie, David Littleproud and Matt Canavan in the cabinet.
