by leave—I congratulate Senator Cash on her election as Senate leader for the opposition. It is the first time we've had an all-woman team at the table—other than when you were acting, obviously. I've faced many leaders from the other side, but this is the first time a woman has had the privilege of this position. That makes this an historic day, and I wanted to acknowledge it. I also congratulate the other senators who have been promoted to the various positions outlined by the opposition leader in the Senate.
