Dear Assistant Minister On behalf of the Board of Old Parliament House, I am pleased to forward to you the annual report on the operations of Old Parliament House for the year ended 30 June 2020. In December 2019, the Board farewelled the Hon Dr David Kemp AC, who served as Chair from 2016 and notably oversaw the successful transition of Old Parliament House to the status of a corporate Commonwealth entity. I thank David for his inspiring and passionate leadership and ongoing advocacy for the Museum of Australian Democracy’s role in engaging Australians with the powerful stories of our democracy. I also acknowledge the contributions of Deputy Chair Mr Bernard Wright AO, particularly for his leadership as Acting Chair from 9 December 2019 until 28 May 2020, and our fellow Board members, the Hon Simon Crean, Prof Anne Tiernan, Ms Cheryl Cartwright, Mrs Maria Myers, Ms Gai Brodtmann and Ms Daryl Karp AM. On 1 September 2019, responsibility for Old Parliament House moved to the portfolio of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, from the portfolio of Communications and the Arts. We acknowledge your ongoing support, and the support shown by the Minister for Communications, Cyber Safety and the Arts, the Hon Paul Fletcher MP. As the accountable authority for Old Parliament House, the Board is responsible for preparing the annual report and providing it to you, in accordance with section 46 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013. The report was approved by the Board on 27 August 2020. Yours sincerely
