I inform the House that the Minister for Social Services is representing myself at the state funeral service of Professor the Hon. Dame Marie Bashir and will be absent from question time today. I know that, particularly for people from New South Wales, Marie Bashir was an absolutely extraordinary human being and a great governor of New South Wales, and she will be missed by so many people who had contact with her. She was remarkable. The Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations will answer questions on the minister's behalf.

I also inform the House that the Minister for Communications and Minister for Sport will be absent from question time today and tomorrow. The Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government will answer questions on her behalf.
