I think I should probably start by responding to something said by the previous speaker. In particular, I think it is disgraceful that she got up here and used the phrase she did at the end of her speech. In this parliament we set standards about conduct and manner, and sometimes we get a bit boisterous, shall we say. Sometimes we get up and say things that might challenge and we have robust debate. But when you get another member getting up and calling everybody on one side of the chamber 'simply gutless wonders' because they will not do what you want them to do on an issue of policy—where you might actually have a genuine disagreement—the person who says that stands condemned.
