I inform the House that we have present in the gallery this afternoon members of a parliamentary delegation from the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia led by the President of the Assembly, His Excellency, Mr Trajko Veljanoski. I am not as good as my predecessor in pronouncing names. On behalf of the House, I extend a very warm welcome to our visitors. We hope that you enjoy your visit to our nation.

While I am at it, I would also like to recognise Mr Bob Merriman in the gallery, a former chairman of Cricket Australia.

Honourable members: Hear, hear!
