For the information of the House I present the revised ministry list dated 25 March 2013.
The document read as follows—
SECOND GILLARD MINISTRY 25 March 2013
Each box represents a portfolio. Cabinet Ministers are shown in bold type . As a general rule, there is one department in each portfolio. However, there is a Department of Veterans ' Affairs in the Defence portfolio. The title of a department does not necessarily reflect the title of a minister in all cases.
Whilst I am on my feet I inform the House that the Treasurer will be absent from question time today due to budget preparations. The Assistant Treasurer will answer questions on his behalf.
The Minister for Families, Community Services, Indigenous Affairs and Disability Reform will also be absent due to budget preparations. The Minister for Health will answer questions in relation to families, community services and disability reform and the Minister for Community Services will answer questions in relation to Indigenous affairs.
The Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Science and Research, Trade and Competitiveness and the Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Asian Century Policy will be absent from question time today for personal reasons. The Minister for Climate Change, Industry and Innovation will answer questions in relation to tertiary education, skills, science and research. The Minister for Defence will answer questions in relation to foreign affairs, trade and competitiveness.
