Mr Speaker, my question to you is: despite the fact that the former government regrettably did not allow an official parliamentary reception for His Holiness the Dalai Lama when he visited Australia last year, now that His Holiness is visiting our country again, will you, as Presiding Officer, allow an official parliamentary reception for this very important Tibetan religious leader?
