by leave—I rise in the House today to present a petition from 2,713 citizens of Australia to the Speaker and the members of the House of Representatives. The petition calls on the Speaker and the members to note that the RAAF Wagga Wagga museum has been closed for many years for refurbishment. The petitioners are asking the House to complete the refurbishment and to urgently reopen the museum. This petition was approved by the Standing Committee on Petitions on Wednesday, 15 October. I thank the Leader of the House for allowing this to take place.

The petition read as follows—

To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives:

This petition of citizens of Australia draws to the attention of the House

The RAAF Wagga Wagga Museum has been closed for many years for Refurbishment. We therefore ask the House to:

Complete the refurbishment and to urgently re-open the Museum.

from 2,713 citizens.

Petition received.
