The Deputy Prime Minister will be taking leave from Monday, 19 February, to Sunday, 25 February. Accordingly, he will not be able to be Acting Prime Minister while I'm overseas on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday of next week. The foreign minister has an extensive program committed in the United Kingdom, Hungary and Slovenia next week. For that reason, I will ask the Leader of the Government in the Senate, Senator Cormann, to be acting Prime Minister while I'm overseas.
