I advise the Senate that Senator Payne will be absent from question time on Wednesday and Thursday, 4 and 5 December 2019, due to ministerial business overseas. In Senator Payne's absence, Senator Birmingham will represent the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Minister for International Development and the Pacific; Senator Ruston will represent the Minister for Women; and Senator Cash will represent the Attorney-General and the Minister for Industrial Relations.
