With the weather getting warmer, seagulls have begun swarming the forecourt of Parliament House in Canberra in huge numbers.

Strategies are being put in place to discourage the nesting birds, which have been known to harass visitors and staff.

The gulls are expected to have cleared the area within a few weeks.

If they ever let people walk on top of Parliament House again the way it was originally designed - to symbolise that the politicians are not above the people - then I am gonna be heading there with ALL the chips.

    Security

    I did find a snippet that said "Visitors can still access the rooftop lawns via an internal lift after undergoing security checks at the main entrance."

    So seems it is still possible.

    I'm booking a trip to Canberra. Does anyone know if security will object to having 500 kilos of chips delivered to Mr C. Gull?
