text: Australia's Old Parliament House becomes heritage listed
  
  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. From 1901-1927, parliament met in Melbourne in the Victorian Parliament House (the state parliament was relocated for 26 years). Before being known as Old Parliament House, the building was known as Provisional Parliament House - as it was intended to be used for 50 years before a permanent building could be built.
