Jaclyn SYMES (Northern Victoria – Attorney-General, Minister for Emergency Services) (16:05): The ministers in the upper house are me as Attorney-General and Minister for Emergency Services; the Deputy Leader of the Government in the Legislative Council is Lizzie Blandthorn, who holds the portfolios of disability, ageing and carers, and child protection and family services; Enver Erdogan holds the positions of corrections minister, youth justice minister and victim support minister; Harriet Shing holds the portfolios of water, regional development, Commonwealth Games legacy and equality; Minister Stitt has early childhood and pre-prep and also the environment portfolio; and Minister Tierney has training and skills, higher education and agriculture.
Members would be aware that all ministers take representing portfolios from the ministers in the other house, but the list is quite long and you will not remember it if I read it out anyway, so I am going to make sure that is available for people in the table office. I would also like to announce that Lee Tarlamis is the Government Whip.
