by leave—I just want to make a short statement regarding ministerial representation. Senator Wong will be absent today as she is attending the funeral of former minister Clyde Cameron, along with Senator Minchin. Senator Carr will represent Senator Wong’s responsibilities in terms of her environment portfolio and climate change portfolio, Senator Ludwig will take over her responsibilities in terms of employment, industrial relations and social inclusion, and I have the pleasure of representing her in terms of her status of women portfolio.
