by leave—I advise the Senate that Senator Cormann, Leader of the Government in the Senate and Minister for Finance and the Public Service, will be absent from question time today due to budget arrangements. In Senator Cormann's absence, I will represent the Prime Minister, the Treasurer, the Assistant Treasurer, the Minister for Finance and the Public Service, and the Special Minister of State.
