I wish to advise the Senate that Senator O'Sullivan will be replacing Senator Canavan as Nationals Whip in the Senate. I would like to take the opportunity to thank Senator Canavan for the excellent job he has done in representing the Nationals in his position of Whip since September last year and to congratulate him on his appointment to the ministry as the new Minister for Northern Australia. We are all very much looking forward to working with Senator O'Sullivan once again as Nationals Whip. Senator O'Sullivan has previously done a great job in this important role, and I know he will continue to serve regional Australia, the Nationals and the Senate once again in this role.
