I would like to mention that, yesterday, speeches in the Federation Chamber reminded us of Rare Disease Day last week. I wish to advise the House of the following. I am hosting a barbecue on Thursday in the House of Representatives courtyard, and all members and senators are invited. It starts at 12 o'clock and will be a great afternoon in support of Rare Disease Australia. To entice members and to make sure that all attend, I have here a list of menu items for the barbecue. There will be cucumber sandwiches for the member for Sturt; chicken soup with noodles for the member for Kooyong; plenty of XXXX for the member for Flynn; plenty of salt for Scott Buchholz to harden up his arteries; Italian sausages for the member for Grayndler; vegetarian options for the member for Melbourne; sesame seed buns for the member for Herbert, to remind him of Maccas; a TRex steak for the member for Fairfax; a slab of red meat for the Prime Minister, if he attends; and some hot meat pies for the Leader of the Opposition. It would be great if you could attend and support the Rare Disease barbecue on Thursday. I look forward to seeing you there. If you have any other menu suggestions, come to see me during question time.
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop Speaker
