PRIME MINISTER
FOR MEDIA6 DECEMBER 1991
After discussions with Mr Kerin this morning, he and I have
agreed on the need for a reallocation of Ministerial
portfolios. As recommended by me to the Governor-General, Mr Kerin will
become Minister for Transport and Communications. Mr Ralph
Willis will become Treasurer and Mr Kim Beazley will become
Minister for Finance.
I pay tribute to John's policy contribution to the
Government and to his understanding of, and agreement with,
the changes I have determined.
The Governor-General will swear in Ministers to their new
portfolios at 8.45am on Monday. 3685
