		Although no longer in official use, old Parliament House in Canberra still has stories to tell - not least that of young Mary Burroughs, who used to run along its roof in her bare feet.
		Mrs Burroughs was 10 when she sat on the step of her father's sulky and watched the Duke and Duchess of York drive up to the house for its official opening on May 9, 1927.
		The official opening of Australia's provisional Parliament House was yesterday re-enacted by drama students and primary school children waving British flags on its 75th anniversary.

		The Prime Minister will be required to account to the House of Representatives for his or her actions.
		Its proposal provides for dismissal of a president by an absolute majority of the House of Representatives on the grounds of stated misbehaviour or incapacity or behaviour inconsistent with the terms of his or her appointment.
		If the president under this model retains the power to prorogue or adjourn parliament, the president could stop his or her own dismissal by preventing parliament from meeting.

	The Garden by Estelle Muspratt at Old Parliament House, Canberra 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		King's Hall in Old Parliament House has echoed to many a political intrigue in the past, but rarely to such an affecting moment as when students from Narrabundah College sang In This Heart by Sinead O'Connor to conclude The Garden, a 50 minute play about the children taken to the Theresienstadt Ghetto 1941 - 1945.
		It's an awful irony that Within the Walls, the exhibition of the history of the Theresienstadt Ghetto, brought to Old Parliament House from the Sydney Jewish Museum, is so moving to us looking back after nearly 60 years.
		Muspratt had considered a range of possible themes, and was struck by the parallels between the false picture of the Jewish ghetto presented by the German government and the placement of Aboriginal people in missions during the same period of history in this country.

		Now of course it was an appallingly overcrowded, decrepit building in which to work and there is no doubt that the new building is magnificent as far as the spaciousness and the amenities for our staff and Members generally are concerned.
		I think the comparison, the old debating chamber in the House of Representatives was a country mile ahead of the debating chamber we now have.
		The one party room that I haven’t, we haven’t sort of been to tonight was of course the Opposition party room, which I started in, left for seven and a half years, went back to, and remember mainly fondly – there was the odd occasion that I don’t remember quite so fondly.

		Can I first of all thank Matilda House for her traditional and informal and friendly welcome and pay tribute to the Ngunnawal people, the traditional owners of the land on which we gather.
		To accept that we’re not always going to agree and to use that old expression there’s a lot of wisdom on occasions to agree to disagree and then to get on and achieve progress in the areas where progress can be achieved.
		I sense in the indigenous leadership of this country a recognition that the individual must assert a greater measure of personal responsibility if progress is to be made.

		Today we would be flying at 400 feet, leaving from Old Parliament House and tracking north-west, our direction determined by the flight of a small test balloon, which is released to roughly calculate speed and direction.
		Flying as part of Canberra’s week-long National Balloon Festival, there are plenty of other balloons around, some more unusual than others including a giant frog, a Sherrin football and a house, making spectacular viewing.
		The downside to the liquid burner, which doesn’t disturb the dogs, is that the pilot has to use twice as much gas to achieve the same results.
