On behalf of the House I would like to acknowledge all the guests in the distinguished visitors gallery and the Speaker's gallery this morning, and advise the House that among our guests are campaigners for the 1967 referendum and their families, as well as family members of the plaintiffs of the 1992 Mabo High Court ruling.

These are significant events in our nation's history, celebrated each year through National Reconciliation Week and, of course, in this year in particular, being the 50th and 25th anniversaries respectively.
