Order! I draw to the attention of honourable senators the presence in the chamber of a parliamentary delegation from Japan and members of the Australia-Japan Young Political Leaders Exchange Program, led by Mr Ichiro Aisawa, Chair of the Australia-Japan Parliamentary Friendship Group. On behalf of all senators, I wish you a warm welcome to Australia and, in particular, to a slightly noisy Senate.

Honourable senators: Hear, hear!

The delegation was then seated accordingly.
