Parliamentary Procedure

VISITORS

The PRESIDENT: Before we continue on with question time, we are blessed today with a number of distinguished guests in our gallery. I notice that we have visitors from the Parliament of Tonga, the honourable Speaker, Lord Lasike, and the Deputy Speaker, Lord Tu'i'afitu. Welcome. The honourable Speaker and the Deputy Speaker are visiting our parliament as part of a twinning program with Pacific parliaments, so welcome to the Legislative Council.

We also have with us guests from Italy: Dr Enzo Testa, who is the Mayor of Roccabascerana, Province of Avellino, Campania Region, which is the region that Hon. Mrs Zollo comes from and is very familiar with. We also have with us Father Albert Mwise, a parish priest. He is a priest of several important communities in the same region of Italy. They are accompanied by the Acting Consul of Italy in South Australia, Mrs Orietta Borgia.

Welcome, and we hope you enjoy your visit to South Australia. I am sure that you will find the hospitality welcomes you and that you will not want to leave our wonderful state.
