Parliament House Matters

PROJECT COMPASSION

The SPEAKER: I have a short announcement to make to members of the house. To mark the fact that this week marks the last week of Lent—the last week before Easter—and also the end of Caritas Australia's Project Compassion campaign, as a way of supporting Project Compassion, I invite members to make a gold coin donation for every interjection that they make during question time tomorrow. I will make sure that the boxes are strategically placed throughout the chamber.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Indeed. I will also make sure that there is plenty of change available for members who need to change a note of large denomination. I was disappointed to discover too late that the Deputy Premier and the Minister for Transport will not be here tomorrow, but maybe they can make it up to me in another way.
