I draw the attention of honourable senators to the presence in the chamber of a parliamentary delegation from New Zealand led by Mr Shane Ardern MP, Chairperson of the Primary Production Committee. On behalf of all senators, I wish you a warm welcome to Australia and, in particular, to the Senate.

Honourable Senators:

Hear, hear!

It is New Zealand’s day, because I also draw the attention of honourable senators to the presence in the President’s Gallery of an Australian Political Exchange Council delegation from New Zealand led by Mr David Bennett MP. On behalf of all senators, I wish you a warm welcome to Australia and, in particular, to the Senate.

Honourable Senators:

Hear, hear!
