I advise that we have with us on the floor of the House today Mr Hilik Bar, the Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, from Israel, and we make him most welcome. We also have with us in the gallery a delegation from the Victoria Racing Club, led by the chairman, who have brought the Melbourne Cup to Canberra, which is currently on public display in the Marble Foyer today. As well, we have Minister Richard Bruton, the Irish Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, together with his Excellency Mr Noel White, the Ambassador for Ireland. We make all those people most welcome.
