Ms Jann McFarlane
asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs, upon notice, on 9 May, 2000:
(1) What is the level of public access to Australia House in London.
(2) Apart from the reception area, is the building closed to Australian citizens.
(3) Are newspapers from various States to be displayed in an adjoining building.
Mr Downer (Minister for Foreign Affairs)
—The Minister for Foreign Affairs has provided the following response to the member's question:
(1) Access to many areas of Australia House is restricted during normal operations as a result of security considerations applying to all Australian overseas diplomatic missions.
(2) Unrestricted public entry is, however, permitted to a general reception area, the visa and passport section reception areas and to a newspaper reading room. All visitors to other areas are required to be escorted by a member of staff.
(3) Newspapers from various States are currently on display in the Australia Centre, a building adjoining Australia House, in a public reading room.
