The Treasurer will be absent from question time today, because he's preparing for the first budget surplus in 12 years, and I'll take questions on his behalf. The Minister for Defence will take questions on behalf of the minister for trade. I table the revised ministry list.

The document read as follows—

MORRISON MINISTRY

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. Assistant Ministers in italics are designated as Parliamentary Secretaries under the Ministers of State Act 1952.
