I don't think any cabinet ministers lost their seats did they? Rudd came close, Ben Gummer lost his, but I don't know if he was a full blown cabinet minister.

A lot of them have gone from safe seats to very precarious marginals though, like Justine "The problem for me as Education Secretary is that too many young people were voting" Greening, and Amber "please keep counting until I get my old majority back" Rudd.
I think the Cabinet Secretary is not typically a Cabinet Position per se, but is one of the 'also attends Cabinet'. He was also the one tasked with pretending that he, not Nick and Fi, had drafted the manifesto, so he was obviously quite well thought of.

Some of them are goners though aren't they? Or can they still be ministers even if they lost their seats?
