Order! I draw the attention of honourable senators to the presence in the chamber of a parliamentary delegation from Argentina led by Senator Sonia Escudero. I also acknowledge the sad occasion of the passing overnight of the former President Nestor Kirchner (President of Argentina 2003-07), who was also the husband of the current President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. I convey the condolences of all senators to you at this sad time, but I wish you a warm welcome to Australia and, in particular, to the Senate.

Honourable Senators:

Honourable senators—Hear, hear!
