I inform the House that present in the special visitors gallery today is a delegation of US congressional representatives led by Representative Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. I'm honoured to inform the House that present in the gallery today is a delegation from Timor-Leste. They are led by member of the national parliament Deputada Sancha Margarida Tilman and joined by Her Excellency Ines Maria de Almeida, the Ambassador of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. Also present in the gallery are members of Regional Development Australia, including the deputy mayor of one of my local councils, Councillor Nicole Jonic from Ipswich. Welcome to you all.
