I inform honourable senators that we have present in the chamber today a parliamentary delegation from Samoa, led by the Speaker, the Hon. Laauli MP. On behalf of all senators, I wish the distinguished guests a warm welcome to Australia and in particular to the Senate. With the concurrence of honourable senators, I would ask the Speaker to take a seat on the floor of the Senate.

Honourable senators: Hear, hear!

The Hon. Laauli was then seated accordingly.
