Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull has unveiled the new Coalition frontbench which sees deputy Liberal leader Julie Bishop become the first woman to take on the prestigious treasury portfolio.
Helen Coonan has also been elevated to foreign affairs while Christopher Pyne has been promoted to education.
The significant overhaul of the Opposition frontbench sees Christopher Pyne, Peter Dutton and Helen Coonan among the winners and Tony Smith and Bronwyn Bishop among the losers.
Mr Pyne will now face off against proven parliamentary performer, Julia Gillard, while Peter Dutton has been elevated from finance to health.Bishop Grabs Treasury Portfolio In New Coalition Frontbench

a coat of paint...
Since taking over from Brendan Nelson, Turnbull has been a man in a hurry, so much so that at times it appears he will seize the prime ministership by sheer force of will.
Rudd was impressive insofar as he became leader of his party after just seven years in Parliament, and prime minister after eight. Turnbull became leader after fewer than four years in Parliament. He aims to be prime minister in seven.
