Complaints have already started about Julia Gillard's new ministry1 that hasn't even been sworn in. The prime minister has upset universities by splitting education between at least two ministers. They say putting higher education under Senator Chris Evans' skills portfolio2 devalues the sector3. The Opposition4 is also questioning Kevin Rudd's ability as foreign minister to negotiate setting up an asylum5 seekers' processing center in East Timor.

Police say the trans-Tasman crackdown on alcohol-fuelled violence and anti-social behavior has been a success. More than 1,200 people have been arrested during the weekend's blitz. New South Wales led the tally6 with more than 700 arrests.

Victoria's arson7 squad8 has confirmed it's investigating a series of insulation9 fires at several locations. It's believed they are related to the Federal Government's bungled10 home insulation program. Police say it's an ongoing11 investigation12 and they can't give any more details.

The worst seems to be over in Victoria's flood emergency. While mopping-up continues in most of the flood-affected areas, the focus is now on the Murray River town of Echuca.

And Iran is set to release an American woman jailed more than a year ago. Sarah Shourd was charged with spying after straying across the country's border with two fellow hikers. But she will now be released on half a million dollars' bail13.
