Terrigal couple John and Helen McGrath were treated to a close-up look at how Federal Parliament works when visiting their local Federal Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid in Canberra.
Reid welcomed the Terrigal residents during a recent sitting fortnight in Canberra.
The couple was visiting Canberra as part of an investigation into their family ancestry in the region.
They decided to contact Reid’s office and enquire about tickets to Question Time.
They secured Speaker’s Tickets to Question Time and were provided with a behind-the-scenes tour of Parliament House by Reid.
“I love when residents from the Central Coast visit me in Parliament House,” Reid said.
“My office is always happy to facilitate Speaker’s Tickets to Question Time for anyone from the Robertson community.
“And we also enjoy taking residents on behind-the-scenes tours of Parliament House.
“It was a delight to welcome Mr and Mrs McGrath to Parliament and provide them with some insights into a typical parliamentary day in Canberra.
“I encourage anyone from the Central Coast visiting Canberra and interested in learning more about Parliament House and the role of a Member to contact my office.”
