Deputy Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says Labor's new team has been finalised, but it will not be revealed today out of respect for the state memorial for Yothu Yindi's frontman. The announcement of Victorian Senator Jacinta Collins, as well as MPs Julie Collins and Catherine King to the Cabinet, will increase the number of women in the ministry from 9 to 11.
