On Sunday, I had the pleasure of hosting Mackillop Catholic College students: Alex Delosa, Alysha Pope, Cameron Perry, Liam Mulvahil, Nicholas Walkington, Tommy Vu, Bailey Maujean, Shaniad Hintz-Staunton, Emma Forsyth, Shannyn Flanagan, Sarah Spence, Allanah Wynd, Aiden Cross, Matthew Murphy, Ike O'Brien, Matthew Cox, Zoe Carrier, Brooke Steele, Tyrah May, Brodie Watkinson. The students were accompanied by teachers Jade Timmins, Brodie McCutcheon and Dominic Farrell.

We had a lovely afternoon. I was able to show them behind the scenes here in Parliament House because parliament was not sitting. The students really appreciated the fact that we could walk around and see what this place is like. We took them up to the Speaker's Gallery. We went past and saw the Prime Minister's suite but, unfortunately, the Prime Minister was not there. It was a wonderful opportunity.

The children asked about Hansard. I said to them that I would make a speech in this place today and record the visit and their names in Hansard so that their names could be forever recorded in history.
