Australia’s Old Parliament House becomes heritage listed
Wednesday, June 21, 2006 Australian Prime Minister John Howard announced on Tuesday that Old Parliament House in Canberra has been heritage listed. It is the 31st entry on the National Heritage List. The listing acknowledges the role the building has in shaping Australia’s culture and protects it from being modified in any way which could affect its historic value. Old Parliament House served as the home of Australia’s parliament from 1927 until 1988, when it was relocated to the present parliament house.

In the 61 years the building was used as the seat of parliament, the government changed…
