While there, we met with Andrew Nikolic MP, our local member for Bass.
We also had the luck to hear him give a speech in the Federation Chamber about national security.
At the start of his speech he welcomed us and said it was always a pleasure having people from Bass come to hear him speak.
While there we also had a "behind the scenes" tour with this chief of staff, Wendy Summers.
We had lunch with Eric Hutchinson, MP for Lyons, and on the way out met the President of the Senate, the Hon Stephen Parry.
I thought it was a great trip and very educational.
I would definitely recommend anyone going to Canberra to meet with their local MP.
