I table for the information of the Senate a revised ministry list dated 8 May 2012 which updates representative responsibilities of Labor ministers in the chamber. I seek leave to have it incorporated in Hansard.

Leave granted.

The document read as follows—

SECOND GILLARD MINISTRY

8 May 2011

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 Veterans' Affairs in the Defence portfolio. The title of a department does not necessarily reflect the title of a minister in all cases.
