I inform the House that we have present in the gallery this afternoon the Minister of Education, Employment and the Family from the Republic of Malta, the Hon. Dolores Cristina. The minister is accompanying the President of Malta, who is visiting Australia as a guest of the government. On behalf of the House, I extend a very warm welcome to our visitors.

Honourable Members:

Hear, hear!

The warmth of the welcome may not be as warm as the reception I am getting from the House, I say to the minister!
