I inform the Senate that Senator Ludwig, the Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, will be absent from question time today. I think we have notified the leaders, but the representative duties will be spread: Senator Arbib will answer questions on behalf of the Minister for Health and Ageing, the Minister for Indigenous Health and the Minister for Mental Health and Ageing; Senator Sherry will answer questions relating to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry; and Senator Wong will answer questions relating to the Attorney-General, the Minister for Home Affairs, the Minister for Justice and the Minister Assisting the Attorney-General on Queensland Floods Recovery.
