Very briefly, Mr President, I indicate to the Senate something I should have indicated at the beginning of question time—namely that, in the absence of the shadow minister for disabilities, carers and the voluntary sector and Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate, Senator Cory Bernardi will be taking on those responsibilities. And of course we congratulate Senator Fifield and his partner Mari on the birth of their son Harry Luka, who, I suggest, may be the last parliamentary baby born in a carbon-tax-free Australia.
