Prime Minister Scott Morrison reveals new cabinet

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has restored Peter Dutton to his first cabinet, moving quickly to heal wounds from the Liberal Party's civil war.

Mr Morrison said his new cabinet would "restore stability to the government" after the turmoil of the past week.

He has dumped Michael Sukkar - a key backer of Mr Dutton - as Assistant Minister to the Treasurer, but kept on Zed Seselja who helped plot the anti-Turnbull insurgency.

Australia's next Foreign Minister will be Marise Payne, after 20-year Coalition veteran Julie Bishop announced she would be standing down from the role.

Mr Morrison said he "would have very much welcomed [Ms Bishop's] continuing role in the ministry" and appointed Senator Payne to the highly-sought after job on Ms Bishop's recommendation.

Senator Payne, Australia's first female defence minister, will become the country's second female Foreign Minister.

"This new Liberal-National team is a next-generation team," said Mr Morrison.

"It is a team that are brought together to assure that we have the stability necessary, but in addition to that, begin the work of healing that is needed after these most recent events."

Mr Dutton will return to Home Affairs, but his former super-portfolio will be split, with Mr Dutton focusing on cyber security, law enforcement, border of protection and security agencies.

Another supporter of former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, David Coleman, will take on Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs in a clear signal from Mr Morrison to separate the economic role of immigration from national security following policy disagreements with Mr Dutton over the past year.

"Immigration, of course, forms part of national security policy, but it also has always played an important role in economic and social policy, and I've had quite a bit of experience with this myself," Mr Morrison said.

Mr Coleman will replace Alan Tudge who backed Mr Dutton. Mr Tudge will now run population and infrastructure policy.

West Australian MP Melissa Price will take on Environment, as Treasurer Josh Frydenberg's former role as Energy and Environment Minister is split, leaving prominent Dutton-backer Angus Taylor with the challenging Energy portfolio.

Liberal senator Michaelia Cash, one of three ministers to announce they had lost confidence in the Turnbull government on Thursday, has been given Small Business, Skills and Vocational Education.

Senator Cash, who has faced some criticism over her performance, voted for Mr Morrison in the leadership spill on Friday.

The portfolio has been elevated to cabinet following sustained calls from the conservative faction to give it increased prominence in a bid to sharpen its anti-business attacks on Labor in the lead-up to the next election.

Financial Services Minister Kelly O'Dwyer, who supported Mr Turnbull and then Mr Morrison, will move from Financial Services to Jobs and Industrial Relations.

Former small business minister Craig Laundy, who accompanied deposed prime minister Malcolm Turnbull to his final party room meeting, has resigned and is considering whether he will contest the next election.

Nationals MP Keith Pitt also quit on Sunday as the Assistant Minister to the Deputy Prime Minister, protesting the government's efforts to address climate change and its commitment to the Paris agreement.

Former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce will become special envoy for drought assistance and recovery.

WA powerbroker Mathias Cormann will remain as Finance Minister and the Leader of the Government in the Senate, despite his very public support for Mr Dutton. He was one of the first MPs to meet with Mr Morrison after he won the vote on Friday.

The factional truce comes two days after Mr Turnbull announced he would resign and quit Parliament following weeks of destabilising campaigning by the conservative wing of the Liberal Party.

Mr Morrison scrambled 45 votes to defeat Mr Dutton's 40 in the final vote on Friday. Both saw off Ms Bishop, who secured the support of 11 MPs in the first round of voting.

Mr Turnbull had earlier given Mr Morrison his blessing to contest the leadership when he lost the majority support of his cabinet.
