by leave—On behalf of the Labor opposition, I wish to table the new shadow ministry arrangements. In doing so, I would like to thank Senators Bishop and Hurley for their dedicated service in the shadow ministry. I congratulate Senators Brandis and Scullion on their appointment as ministers. We hope they have a very enjoyable and short tenure as ministers! I would like to note Senator Sandy Macdonald’s service as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Defence and wish him the best, and I acknowledge the retirement from the ministry of Senators Kemp and Vanstone and hope they enjoy the back bench. I seek leave to incorporate the shadow ministry list in Hansard.

Leave granted.
