This week marked the 20th anniversary of the Downing Street Declaration. I was in the car the other night listening to the presentation from Iveagh House. I have to say it was one of the better moments in public broadcasting. I listened to the former Prime Minister, John Major. Now that our nation and the United Kingdom are just about at the position of having normal relations for once and for all, I suggest it would be appropriate for this House to invite the former Prime Minister, John Major, to address Senators at the earliest possible opportunity in recognition of his role in the Downing Street Declaration.
