“We first met supporting a group of teenagers through the Young Enterprise Scheme and somehow, despite that experience, we both still decided public life was a good idea,”
“So far I have changed my mind at least twice (Laughter) but I have come down to the view that I will be supporting this proposal for the arguments raised.”
“Rumours abound of a filibuster plan, so abound that it has been reported in the media. For those who do not know what filibustering is, it is just to waste time, to delay, (A Member: Hear, hear.) to fill the space for as long as you can.”
