WONG (—) (): For the information of senators I table a revised ministry list, as tabled yesterday by the Prime Minister in the House of Representatives. It reflects a small alteration to ministerial representation in the House and some typographical changes. I seek leave to have the revised list incorporated into Hansard.

Leave granted.

The document read as follows—

Each box represents a portfolio. Cabinet M inisters 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 M inister 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 M inisters in italics are designated as P arliamentary S ecretaries under the Ministers of State Act 1952 .
