Mr Speaker, I present a revised ministry list reflecting changes to the ministry and the change of representative arrangements.

The document read as follows—

Commonwealth Government

2 July 2021

SECOND MORRISON MINISTRY

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 can be two departments in one portfolio. The title of a department does not necessarily reflect the title of a Minister in all cases. Ministers are sworn to administer the portfolio in which they are listed under the 'Minister' column and may also be sworn to administer other portfolios in which they are not listed. Assistant Ministers in italics are designated as Parliamentary Secretaries under the Ministers of State Act 1952.

Mr Speaker, I inform the House that the Minister for Defence will be absent from question time today and for the remainder of the week. The Minister for Defence Industry will answer questions on his behalf in the Defence portfolio. The Minister for Industry, Science and Technology will be acting Leader of the House. The Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment will also be absent from question time today and for the remainder of the week. The Treasurer will answer questions on his behalf. The Minister for the Environment will also be absent from question time today and for the remainder of the week. The Minister for Health will answer questions on her behalf in the Environment portfolio and the Minister for Home Affairs will answer questions in her behalf on the Women's portfolio.
