Halivar boasted that her ministry was "a reflection of modern-day Estmere", arguing that the ministers attending cabinet were representative of Estmerish society. When it was sworn in, it made several historic firsts; it was the first gender-balanced cabinet in Estmerish history, with 11 men and 11 women, and the first to appoint a minister who identifies outside of the {{wp|gender binary}} and as {{wp|transgender}}. It broke several records for inclusivity, with ministers 19 who attended comprehensives, 6 who were considered visible minorities, and 3 who were LGBT+.

It broke several records for inclusivity, with 19 ministers who attended state-funded schools, 6 who were visible minorities, and 4 who were LGBT+.


The [[Progressive Social Democrats]] also claimed this was a "cabinet of experts", and that each minister was qualified in their field, but this has been subject to scrutiny and some of the qualifications in question are only tangentally related to their office.
