Michaelia Cash (WA, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations) Share this | Hansard source

by leave—I advise the Senate that I have been elected Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, and I congratulate, following her successful election, Senator Ruston as the coalition's deputy leader. I'm also pleased to advise the Senate that Senator Duniam has been appointed Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate and that Senator McGrath has been appointed Deputy Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate.

I would also, again, like to acknowledge former Leader of the Opposition in the Senate Simon Birmingham for his service to the Senate, to the Liberal Party of Australia and to the Liberal Party of South Australia.

I also congratulate our senators on their various appointments. I welcome Senator Claire Chandler into the shadow cabinet as shadow minister for government services and the digital economy and shadow minister for science and the arts. Shadow minister for Indigenous Australians Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price will now take on additional responsibilities as the shadow minister for government efficiency. Senator Matt O'Sullivan has been appointed shadow assistant minister for education.

I seek leave to incorporate in Hansard the coalition's shadow ministerial arrangements.

Leave granted.
