Mr Speaker, you will be aware, as I think you attended the function as well, that last Thursday in the Great Hall we saw the celebration of the 21st birthday of Questacon’s science circus—a very successful program sponsored by the government as well as by private enterprise. I became aware that they had attempted to have the science circus vehicle parked at the front of the House to add some media and other interest to the event but were told apparently that that was not able to happen. I was wondering, Mr Speaker, if you could find out what the problem was that stopped the Questacon vehicle from being parked out the front. It would have added quite a deal to the celebrations of their program.

I thank the member for Canberra. I will give her a detailed answer rather than try to give a short answer now.
