Parliament House Matters

Parliament House Open Day

The SPEAKER (14:12): I would like to acknowledge that today marks the 135^th anniversary of the opening of the House of Assembly chamber in 1889, so if these walls could talk. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank the parliament's community education manager, Natalie Badcock, the Clerk, the staff and the MPs who turned up for our open day last Sunday week. I also thank the security staff and everyone else who volunteered their time. It was an amazingly successful day. It was part of our History Month, and it was terrific to have people into the house, which is quite rightly considered their house.
