by leave—I table for the information of the Senate a revised ministry list and seek leave to have the document incorporated into Hansardand make a short statement.

Leave granted.

I advise the Senate that the updated ministry list reflects the updated representing arrangements in the House of Representatives.

The document read as follows—

SECOND MORRISON MINISTRY

29 May 2019

Each box represents a portfolio. Cabinet Ministers 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 Minister 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 Ministers in italics are designated as Parliamentary Secretaries under the Ministers of State Act 1952.

Updated 24 October 2019

by leave—I advise the Senate that Senator Canavan will be absent from question time today, Monday 11 November 2019, for personal reasons. In Senator Canavan's absence, Senator McKenzie will represent the Minister for Resources and Northern Australia, the Deputy Prime Minister, the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, the Minister for Regional Services, Decentralisation and Local Government and the Minister for Industry, Science and Technology. I further advise the Senate that Senator Reynolds will be absent from question time today due to ministerial duties. In Senator Reynolds's absence, Senator Payne will be represented the Minister for Defence, the Assistant Minister for Defence, the Minister for Veterans and Defence Personnel and the Minister for Defence Industry. Senator McKenzie will represent the Minister for Communications, Cyber Safety and the Arts.
