The First
Gillard Ministry (Labor)
was the 66th ministry of
the Australian
government and was
led by the prime minister, Julia
Gillard. It succeeded the first
Rudd Ministry upon
its swearing in by the Governor-General
of Australia, Quentin
Bryce, on 24 June 2010. It was replaced
by the second
Gillard Ministry on
14 September 2010 after the 2010
election.
The change in ministry followed
a series
of events on 23–24
June that led to the Prime Minister, Kevin
Rudd, first calling a leadership ballot
within the governing Labor Party after being
challenged by his deputy, Julia Gillard, and
then declining to contest it, allowing Gillard
to win the leadership unopposed. The initial
form of the First Gillard Ministry was identical
to the final form of the first
Rudd Ministry, apart from Gillard's
appointment as prime minister and Wayne
Swan as deputy
prime minister, and the departure of
Rudd as a minister. A minor
reshuffle was announced on 28 June, with Simon
Crean to assume
responsibility for Gillard's former portfolios
of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations
and Social Inclusion. Stephen
Smith was assigned
the Trade portfolio in addition to his Foreign
Affairs portfolio.
