I would also like to take the opportunity to welcome the Hon. Barry Cohen, who is seated on the floor of the chamber. You will be pleased to know, Mr Cohen, that three of your former colleagues drew your august presence to my attention.

I would also like to inform the House that we have present in the gallery this afternoon members of the Pacific Parliamentary Leadership Dialogue. Members of parliament from Bougainville, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Samoa and Vanuatu are participating in a leadership dialogue sponsored by the Centre for Democratic Institutions. My counterpart, the Speaker of the Parliament of Vanuatu, is part of that group.

Honourable members: Hear, Hear!
