AnswerView source ↗

As far as I am concerned - Several members interjected. Dr G.I. GALLOP: I am amazed that the Leader of the Opposition is surprised at the fact that a decision about the heritage listing of this Parliament should be anything but uncontroversial. Why was this Parliament not heritage listed many years ago?
