Senator CARRICK (Leader of the Government in the Senate) —I inform the Senate that on 17 February 1981 Mr Ellicott, the then Minister for Home Affairs and Environment, resigned his portfolio. The Minister for Health (Mr MacKellar) has been appointed Minister for Home Affairs and Environment in addition to retaining his existing responsibilities. Senator Peter Baume will continue to represent the Minister for Home Affairs and Environment in this chamber. I also inform the Senate that consequent upon the resignation of Senator Rocher, Senator Kilgariff is now Deputy Government Whip.
