I am grateful to finally be able to speak.
Comment on this
If the Senator had been in the Labour Party, he would have spoken already, but I think he is better off over there.
Comment on this
I think I probably am too. As a non-aligned Independent, I do not get a great deal of speaking time. That needs to be looked at. Perhaps it should be written into the Order Paper that we should get a better shot at speaking.
