asked the Prime Minister, in writing, on 21 February 2011:

(1) Is the Government planning to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of the accession to the Throne of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2012; if so, how; if not, why not?

(2) Is the Government creating a commemorative Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal to honour both Her Majesty and the significant contributions and achievements by Australians (as the Canadian Government is doing); if not, why not?
