I advise the Senate that Senator the Hon. Scott Ryan will be absent from question time for the remainder of this week for personal reasons. In Senator Ryan's absence, Senator Cormann will represent the Special Minister of State portfolio, Senator Sinodinos will represent Senator Ryan in his capacity as Minister Assisting the Cabinet Secretary, Senator Birmingham will represent the Minister for Social Services and Senator Payne will represent the Minister for Human Services.
