by leave—for the information of honourable senators, I table the current list of ministers, which includes representation of House of Representatives ministers in the Senate. It is dated 23 December 2014.

The document read as follows—

ABBOTT MINISTRY

23 DECEMBER 2014

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 is a Department of Human Services in the Social Services portfolio and a Department of Veterans' Affairs in the Defence portfolio. The title of a department does not necessarily reflect the title of a minister in all cases.
