On the day Scott Morrison arranged to be sworn-in as Australian prime minister for the second time he also made a few administrative changes.
From now on the Dept. of Human Services, which delivers social and health payments through such services such as Medicare, Centrelink and Child Support, will have the word "Human" erased from its title.
It will now be called Services Australia. A neutral name which will probably make privatisation of its more human service components that much easier down the track.
Services Australia has also been expanded to include responsibility for whole of government service delivery.
The new Minister for Government Services and Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme is noneother than the Qld Liberal MP for Fadden Stuart Robert, who in 2016 resigned as the Minister for Human Services after questions were raised over his fitness for office. Thus proving that when it comes to political probity it's not what you did in the past but who you pray with now that matters.
The new Minister for Families and Social Services was listed on 26 May 2019 as Liberal Senator for South Australia Anne Rushton. However, there is no mention of that title in her official parliamentary profile to date.

Morrison has also decided that settlement
services for refugees and humanitarian migrants are being transferred from the
Social Services portfolio to the Home Affairs portfolio, giving the Minister
for Home Affairs and Liberal MP for Dickson Peter Dutton control of every aspect of the
lives of those seeking asylum or resettlement in Australia.
These and other changes are set out below........
