Parliamentary Procedure

Visitors

The SPEAKER: We have some guests with us today. I would like to welcome to parliament year 9 students and teachers from Navigator College in Port Lincoln, who are guests of the member for Flinders. Welcome to Adelaide. I hope you have a good time while you are here and that you enjoy your time in parliament. The member for Flinders is always one of the very best behaved members of this house, and I am sure he will be very quiet today while you are in the chamber.

We also have some guests from the Victorian parliament, four staff members from the Victorian parliament. We welcome you to the South Australian Parliament and hope you enjoy your time here too. We also have a group called the Red Hat Rebels. Would you mind putting your hats on? Apparently, according to this book back here, it is unparliamentary and out of order for you to have those hats on in the gallery, but I am willing to turn a blind eye to your lovely red hats for at least a few minutes because the Red Hat Rebels are a nonprofit group of mature-aged ladies who are ageing disgracefully and having lots fun.

Thank you for the kindness and the positivity that you bring to your community and the community of South Australia. Whatever it is you are doing with those red hats, we applaud you for it. It is fantastic to have you in the parliament today. Maybe, so as the Clerk does not ask me to get you to take them off, just take them off in a couple of minutes. It is great to have you ladies in here. We really appreciate your visit to parliament.
