I inform the House that we have present in the gallery this afternoon members of a delegation of parliamentarians from Pacific countries who are participating in the Pacific Parliamentary Leadership Dialogue. With them is Senator Kay Patterson, a former minister of the Howard government, and former Speaker Steve Martin. I wish them well in their dialogue during the week and on behalf of the House I extend to them a very warm welcome.

I am also delighted to acknowledge today Lifeline's 50th year of service to our community, delivering mental health suicide prevention. I welcome Lifeline's chairman, John Brogden, who has been with us in the gallery and wish Lifeline, its staff and volunteers the very best on its 50th anniversary.

Honourable members: Hear, hear!
