I wish to advise the House that we have visiting us in the chamber today a number of members from state parliaments. We have the Honourable Don Harwin, President of the New South Wales Legislative Council. We have three members from the Queensland parliament—Mr Rob Molhoek, Mr Steve Minnikin and Ms Kerry Millard. And we also have Mr John Dawkins from the South Australian legislative council.

But we also have visiting, because it was her choice, a lady sitting in the back of the gallery who is turning 100 today. Her name is Beryl James, and she comes from Cairns, and it was her wish that she celebrate her 100th birthday in the Australian parliament.

Honourable members: Hear, hear!
