I inform the Senate that Senator Ludwig, the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, will be absent from question time today. Senator Ludwig's question time representative responsibilities will be divided among three ministers: Senator Arbib will answer questions relating to the Health and Ageing portfolio, Senator Sherry will take any questions relating to the Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry portfolio, and Senator Wong will represent on the portfolios of the Attorney-General and of the Minister for Home Affairs and Minister for Justice.
