Firstly, I table for the information of the Senate a revised ministry list and seek leave to have the document incorporated into Hansard.

Leave granted.

The document read as follows—

SECOND MORRISON MINISTRY

29 May 2019

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 can be two departments in one portfolio. The title of a department does not necessarily reflect the title of a Minister in all cases. Ministers are sworn to administer the portfolio in which they are listed under the 'Minister' column and may also be sworn to administer other portfolios in which they are not listed. Assistant Ministers in italics are designated as Parliamentary Secretaries under the Ministers of State Act 1952.

Updated 9 September 2019

I advise the Senate that the updated ministry list reflects the updated representation arrangements moving the Regional Services, Decentralisation and Local Government portfolio to Senator Canavan. I also advise the Senate that Senator Birmingham will be absent from question time today, Monday, 9 September 2019, due to ministerial business overseas. In Senator Birmingham's absence, Senator Payne will represent the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment and the assistant trade and investment minister; Senator McKenzie will represent the Minister for Education; and Senator Canavan will represent the Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction and the Minister for the Environment.
