I table, for the information of the House, a revised ministry list reflecting a recent change to the ministry. The change is the appointment of Dr Emerson as Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Asian Century Policy. I seek leave to have the document incorporated in Hansard.

Leave granted.

  SECOND GILLARD MINISTRY   28 October

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 ti tle of a minister in all cases.

I also inform the House that the Minister for Housing, the Minister for Homelessness and the Minister for Small Business will be absent from question time today and tomorrow for personal reasons. The Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs will answer questions in relation to housing and homelessness and on behalf of the Minister for Human Services. The Assistant Treasurer will answer questions in relation to small business.
