“This is the largest number of women who have ever served in an Australian cabinet, with 10 women in the cabinet.”
What RMIT ABC Fact Check found
Mr Albanese's claim is correct. The previous record was 8 women in cabinet, or 34.8 per cent of cabinet positions, achieved during the final term of Scott Morrison's Coalition government. The first ministry of the Albanese Labor government includes 10 women in cabinet, taking their share of these senior positions to 43.5 per cent.
