Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:00): I advise changes to ministerial arrangements. Senator Gallagher, as is usually the case for the budget, is absent from question time today due to—it says ministerial business, but it's the budget. In her absence, ministers will represent portfolios at question time in accordance with the letter circulated to the President, party leaders and Independent senators.
