I inform the Senate that Senator Ian Campbell, the Minister for the Environment and Heritage, will be absent from question time today, tomorrow and Thursday. Senator Campbell is representing the Australian government at the high-level segment of the 14th session of the Commission on Sustainable Development in New York. During Senator Campbell’s absence, Senator Eric Abetz will answer questions relating to the Environment and Heritage portfolio, the Defence portfolio, the Veterans’ Affairs portfolio, the Transport and Regional Services portfolio and the Local Government, Territories and Roads portfolio.
