The New Zealand Defence Force will provide a 50-person Guard of Honour of Army personnel for the official welcome ceremony for The Honourable Julia Gillard, Prime Minister of Australia, at Parliament on Wednesday 16 February at 9.20am. As part of the ceremony a 19-gun salute will be fired from Point Jerningham at approximately 9.30am.
