Fed: Keneally expected to announce cabinet this afternoon

NSW Premier KRISTINA KENEALLY is expected to announce her new cabinet this afternoon
.. amid speculation she'll be pressured by factional bosses.

Ms KENEALLY .. who became NSW's first female premier after beating NATHAN REES in a
shock leadership spill last Thursday night .. has refused to be drawn on the makeup of
her cabinet.

But the opposition has accused her of being beholden to her factional bosses .. and
unable to make a decision.

Ms KENEALLY has said the turmoil within Labor ranks is over .. and she'll be working
as a team with her cabinet .. which already includes Treasurer ERIC ROOZENDAAL .. and
caucus colleagues.



Prime Minister KEVIN RUDD and Ms KENEALLY yesterday brushed off questions on a possible
federal intervention in the NSW Labor branch .. saying it wasn't a matter for them.
