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 is a Department of Veterans’ Affairs in the Defence portfolio. The title of a department does not necessarily reflect the title of a minister in all cases.
Can I steal Senator Abetz’s thunder a little, while I am on feet, and congratulate him on his election as Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, and congratulate Senator Brandis on his election as deputy leader. We look forward to working constructively with them on matters of mutual interest. I have always had a very good relationship with the previous leader, Senator Minchin. We never agreed on anything politically, but we were able to work cooperatively. I wish him well in his new role as active backbencher.
