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

Leave is granted.

The document read as follows—

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.

I advise the Senate that the updated ministry list reflects the updated ministry announced by the Prime Minister on 22 June 2021 and the appointment of Mr Joyce as the Deputy Prime Minister.
