(—) (): I have the honour to inform the House that the Australian Labor Party has elected me as its leader, and I am delighted to advise the House that the honourable member for Sydney has been elected as our deputy leader. The honourable member for Fowler has been appointed Chief Opposition Whip. The honourable member for Shortland, who has served in this position since 2004, has been reappointed as whip, and the member for Lalor—fresh from being principal and having a distinguished career at Moonee Ponds Central School—has also been elected whip to help apply those skills with the caucus. I understand that a full list of my shadow ministry will be included in Hansard.
