Her Majesty the Queen’s Baton was to arrive on Norfolk Island from Tuvalu via Brisbane and Sydney on the afternoon of Wednesday 02 June 2010 and depart our shores on Saturday, 5 June 2010 en route for Singapore. As part of the Queen’s Baton Relay the Baton was to be received into the Legislative Assembly Chamber at a Ceremonial Sitting on Thursday 03 June 2010 at 9.30 am.
Unfortunately there was a delay and the Queen's Baton did not arrive on Norfolk Island until late in the afternoon of Friday 04 June 2010, which did not allow any time for the Ceremonial Sitting to take place as planned. The delay being due to its departure from Tuvalu having to be rerouted through Fiji and Melbourne.
The Minister for Community Services with executive responsibility for sport, the Hon Tim Sheridan MLA welcomed the Queen's Baton to Norfolk.
