I wish to advise the chamber of changes to ministerial arrangements for today. Senator Wong is absent from question time on account of ministerial business overseas. In her absence I will represent the Prime Minister, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Minister for International Development and the Pacific, the Minister for Defence, the Minister for Veterans' Affairs, the Minister for Defence Personnel and the Minister for Defence Industry.

You'll probably get paid more than the ministers!

That'll happen! Senator Gallagher will represent the Minister for Climate Change and Energy and the Minister for the Environment and Water.
