For the information of the House, I present a revised list of the shadow ministry.

In addition to his responsibilities as shadow minister for communications, the member for Blaxland will be the shallow minister for resources, supported by the member for Rankin, who will take on responsibilities as shadow minister assisting on resources in addition to his current portfolios. In addition to responsibilities as shadow minister for Indigenous affairs and shadow minister for ageing, the member for Blair will be the shadow minister for northern Australia. The member for Throsby will assume the portfolio of shadow minister for regional communications, in addition to his current responsibilities as shadow assistant minister for health. I am delighted to announce that Senator Pat Dodson will be my new shadow parliamentary secretary.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank the member for Brand for his contributions to our party.
