New Federal Cabinet

The ABC have reported the new Rudd Federal Cabinet (full list appended). Those related to IT appear to be: Broadband, Communications and Digital Economy: Stephen Conroy, Innovation, Industry, Science and Research: Kim Carr, Education, Employment and Workplace Relations: Julia Gillard, Finance: Lindsay Tanner, Attorney-General: Robert McClelland, Climate Change and Water: Penny Wong, Defence procurement: Greg Combet.

There is no word on departmental rearrangements, presumably responsibility for most of IT will remain with the Communications department, with Finance retaining the government's own internal IT coordination role. Education will also have a large IT role, with computers for schools.
