I'm pleased to inform the House that today and every day this week we are lucky to be joined by representatives from local councils, including hardworking councillors and mayors from across Australia, who are gathering in Canberra this week for the annual National General Assembly of the Australian Local Government Association. I don't propose to acknowledge every single mayor and councillor that is visiting, but each day I shall be recognising collectively all of the hardworking mayors and councillors. Welcome to you all.

Honourable members: Hear, hear!
