Ten senior Commonwealth and State Government ministers and parliamentarians visited the Expo 2000 pavilion in Hanover, including Mr Downer, Mr Vaile and Queensland Premier Mr Peter Beattie (representing the major non-Commonwealth stakeholder). All expressed great satisfaction with the design, content and quality of the pavilion and its impact as a major drawcard at Expo. Ministers were very impressed with the high calibre of the pavilion attendants, noting that the public responded very favourably to the friendly and engaging atmosphere that prevailed. They agreed that the Commonwealth and Queensland Governments in particular had received excellent value for money. Mr McGauran praised the entertainment and arts program for presenting a sophisticated image of the modern diversity of Australian arts. German media coverage was extensive and exclusively positive, with the pavilion featuring regularly as a ‘must see’ and numerous features about Australian industrial innovation (for example in solar energy and environmental technology) and the arts. Unsolicited feedback and visitor surveys confirmed an overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic response to the pavilion.
