Order! I draw to the attention of honourable senators the presence in the chamber of a parliamentary delegation from the Kingdom of Bhutan led by Her Excellency Pema Lhamo. On behalf of all senators, I wish you a warm welcome to Australia and, in particular, to the Senate.

I also draw to the attention of honourable senators the presence in the gallery of an APEC delegation from New Zealand. On behalf of all senators, I wish you a warm welcome, and we express our deepest sympathies for the recent events in your country. We wish you a warm welcome to Australia and, in particular, to the Senate, and I would also like you to convey our sympathy to your country following the devastating earthquakes last week in Christchurch.

Honourable Senators:

Hear, hear!
