by leave—I advise the Senate that, subsequent to the election, the caucus of the federal parliamentary Labor Party has re-elected me to serve as Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, and Senator Conroy has been re-elected Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate.

I further advise that Senator Urquhart has been elected to serve as Chief Opposition Whip in the Senate—making it almost an entirely Tasmanian lock-in!—and Senators Bilyk and McAllister have been elected to serve as deputy opposition whips. Senator Dastyari has agreed to serve as Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate.
