Parliamentary Procedure

Visitors

The SPEAKER: We have a few guests with us today in the gallery. I notice and acknowledge Alice Jim, South Australia's representative in Hong Kong, who has been doing that role for many years—certainly, when I was minister for agriculture, food, fisheries, forests, tourism, recreation, sport and racing, and I am sure the member for Chaffey as well. Alice is the guest of the Minister for Trade today. Thank you, Alice; it is great to see you again. Thank you for all your fine work.

Today, we have a long-time listener, first-time visitor that I can remember, Fred Smith. Anyone who has done anything in the South-East would know of Fred's great work down there for the South-East Voice. It is really good to have you in here. Fred listens so intently to parliament—not just question time but all of it—that, whenever I have uttered the word 'Glencoe' it turns up in the very next edition of the paper. Fred, thank you for your great service. You always know what is happening in my family before I do, and I appreciate the heads-up on what the cousins are up to. It is great to have you in here as well. I have just seen a note here that Fred is a guest of the member for Frome. My spies in the South-East said you were going to be in here, Fred, so I already had you down for a little shout-out.

We have some schools listed here, but I do not see the school groups here yet. I might just acknowledge them before they get here: Salisbury Primary School students, who are guests of the Minister for Tourism; we also have students coming in from Ocean View College, who are guests of the Deputy Premier; and the Leader of the Opposition has a visitor as well, Mr Henry Brasher.
