Next Sunday week, 17 December 2017, will mark the 50th anniversary of the death of Harold Holt, Australia's 17th Prime Minister. As we pause to remember the life and achievements of Harold Holt, who was a member of this House for more than 30 years, it's my great privilege to welcome to the floor of the chamber today Mr Sam Holt, son of the late Prime Minister; his wife, Xenia, and his son, Robert; Mr Tony Eggleton, who was Harold Holt's press secretary and close friend; and Mr Peter Costello, former member for Higgins and Treasurer, and a friend of the Holt family. On behalf of the House, I extend a very warm welcome to you all.

Honourable members: Hear, hear!
