Australia's new prime minister has passed over her predecessor Kevin Rudd in a limited cabinet reshuffle.
Julia Gillard announced her new frontbench line-up on Monday, after wresting the leadership from Mr Rudd last week.
She said he would be welcome to take up a senior cabinet position if Labor is re-elected to government.
She told reporters in Canberra the reshuffle was kept to a minimum, to maintain the government's stability.
The new Cabinet is otherwise little changed from Mr Rudd's front bench.
Simon Crean has been given Ms Gillard's portfolios of Education, Employment and Workplace, while Stephen Smith adds Trade to his Foreign Affairs portfolio.
