The second Morrison ministry (Liberal–National Coalition) was the 72nd ministry of the Australian Government. It was led by Prime Minister Scott Morrison. The second Morrison ministry succeeded the first Morrison ministry following the 2019 Australian federal election.

Final arrangement
On 19 September 2021, industrial, science and technology minister Christian Porter resigned from the cabinet after he was criticised for accepting an anonymous donation from a blind trust to fund his defamation claim against ABC and reporter Louise Milligan for publishing his rape allegation.[2] Energy and emissions reduction minister Angus Taylor took over Porter's portfolios on an acting basis.[3]
In a ministerial reshuffle on 8 October 2021, Taylor gained the industry portfolio, while defence industry minister Melissa Price gained the science and technology portfolio, with both retaining their own portfolios. Alex Hawke was promoted to the cabinet while retaining his immigration portfolio.[4][5] Ben Morton was promoted to the ministry and was appointed the Special Minister of State and the Public Service Minister, while continuing to assist the Prime Minister and Cabinet. Tim Wilson was appointed the Assistant Minister Assisting the Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction.[6]
On 25 October 2021, resources and water minister Keith Pitt was reinstated to the cabinet, after previously being demoted to the outer ministry in July 2021.[7][8]
On 2 December 2021, education minister Alan Tudge stood down from the cabinet while allegations of his bullying and affair with his former press secretary were being investigated. On 4 March 2022, while the review cleared Tudge of breaking any rules, Tudge decided not to return to the cabinet and resigned.[9] Stuart Robert was the acting Education Minister during Tudge's leave and after Tudge stood down.
