I draw to the attention of Honourable Senators, the presence in the chamber of a parliamentary delegation from Saudi Arabia led by the Speaker, His Excellency Dr Abdullah bin Mohammed Al-Sheikh, Speaker of the Shura Council.

On behalf of all Senators, I wish you 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!

His Excellency Dr Abdullah bin Mohammed Al-Sheik h was then seated accordingly.

Whilst I am acknowledging visitors, we also have past President Alan Ferguson in the President's Gallery—heavily disguised.
