It is on the public record that the Prime Minister has asked all cabinet ministers to remain in cabinet until such time as he makes an announcement about a reshuffle which has been occasioned by his ascendancy to the prime ministership. And so, in due course, that announcement will be made. But he has asked all cabinet ministers to retain their positions and as a result I can confirm to the honourable senator that the answer is yes.
