Senator CASH (Western Australia—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (17:05): I advise the Senate that, following a Liberal Party Senate party room meeting post the election, I was re-elected Leader of the Opposition in the Senate. I welcome the continuation, following her successful re-election, of Senator Ruston as the Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate. I also acknowledge the re-election of Senator Bridget McKenzie, who continues in her role as the Leader of the Nationals in the Senate. I further advise the Senate that Senator Wendy Askew has been re-elected as Chief Opposition Whip in the Senate, along with Senator Blyth and Senator Collins, who have both been elected deputy opposition whips. I inform the Senate that Senator Jonno Duniam will serve as Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate and that Senator Paul Scarr will assist him as the Deputy Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate. I also congratulate our senators on their various appointments to the shadow ministry. I congratulate all senators on their appointments in this place following the election. I particularly congratulate Senator Jess Collins, who has joined our ranks. I offer my congratulations to government senators and, particularly, to those senators who have been appointed to ministerial and assistant minister roles. I acknowledge Senator Wong as the Leader of the Government in the Senate. The coalition takes very seriously our role to be a responsible opposition, working in this chamber with the crossbench elected by the Australian people to hold the government to account and to represent the views of our constituents, our communities and all Australians. I seek leave to table the shadow ministry list and have it incorporated into Hansard. Leave granted.
