I wish to advise the House that, as part of the relaunch of the Parliamentary Friends of Orchestral Music, a string quartet made up of members from the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra have been performing at Parliament House throughout the day, bringing the sounds of Australian composers and classical music to the marble foyer and the reflective pool by the members' hall. This evening, the minister will be speaking at the event to officially relaunch the Parliamentary Friends of Orchestral Music group, co-chaired by the Special Envoy for the Arts, Susan Templeton—the member for Macquarie—and Senator Claire Chandler, senator for Tasmania. I'd like to thank Services Australia and the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra for bringing classical music to Parliament House for the day.
