The parliament is about to resume its sitting.

Milton Dick will be presented to the Governor-General Sam Mostyn – it’s a bit of a ceremony with Dick being led by the Serjeant-at-Arms (with Mace) to the Members’ Hall, with the Clerks of the parliament, party leaders and members following behind.

Dick does his “Your Excellency — I have the honour to present myself as the Speaker
chosen by the House of Representatives” bit and then he heads back to the members, and announces he is the speaker. No cap.

I have to report that, accompanied by honourable Members, I proceeded to the Members’ Hall and presented myself to Her Excellency the Governor-General as the choice of the House as its Speaker, and that Her Excellency was kind enough to congratulate me.
Her Excellency also presented to me an authority to administer to Members the oath or affirmation of allegiance. I now lay the authority on the Table”.

Everyone then looks at the authority in a little show and tell and then boom. The House is ready to start doing house business.
