Milton Dick (Speaker) | Hansard source

Before we begin question time, there are two important acknowledgements I'd like to do. I'm pleased to inform the House that present in the gallery today are athletes selected to represent Australia at the 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games in cycling, paracycling, netball, parabowls, gymnastics, weightlifting, judo and athletics. Accompanying the athletes is Ben Houston, the President of Commonwealth Games Australia, as well as Petria Thomas OAM, chef de mission of the Australian team for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games in about a month's time. On behalf of the House, we wish you all the very best in your endeavours fighting for gold and fighting for Australia. Welcome to question time.

I'm also pleased to inform the House that joining us on the floor of the parliament is the Hon. Dr Stephen Martin AO, former speaker of the House of Representatives. Welcome to question time.

Honourable members: Hear, hear!
