President, Senate Visit

The PRESIDENT (14:23): Members, I would also like to report that, on Tuesday last week, during a visit to Canberra, I had the wonderful privilege of being invited onto the floor of the Senate before question time. Subsequently, the President, Senator the Hon. Scott Ryan, sought the leave of the Senate and then asked Black Rod to escort me to the chair to his immediate left, where I sat for the remainder of question time.

This is a traditional practice in the Senate to acknowledge the presence of presiding members, on behalf of their respective chambers, from other commonwealth jurisdictions. On behalf of members of this chamber, I conveyed to the President of the Senate my great thanks for this recognition.
