On 3 February 2009 I advised that the Black Rod's Office had arranged for some artefacts including the gown, wig and lace used by former Presidents to be loaned to the Museum of Australian Democracy. Follow­ing discussions since then between museum officials and Black Rod's Office, I have recently approved the donation of these items to the museum so that they can be properly catalogued and curated for the longer term.
