by leave—I advise that the opposition has made two changes affecting shadow assistant ministers. Ms Meryl Swanson MP has been appointed shadow assistant minister for defence, replacing the Hon. Dr Mike Kelly AM MP. Senator Jenny McAllister has been appointed shadow assistant minister for communities and the prevention of family violence—a new position in addition to her existing responsibilities, in the portfolio of families and social services with the Hon. Linda Burney MP. I congratulate both Ms Swanson and Senator McAllister. I seek leave to table the revised shadow ministry list and have it incorporated in Hansard.

Leave granted.

The document read as follows—

FEDERAL SHADOW MINISTRY    24 August 2020
