    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I support Hon. Duale’s sentiments. I agree with him that it is time to allow Members to come to the House. As the Member for Emurua Dikirr has said, we have seen massive rallies conducted by politicians out there, the same people who come to this chamber and tell us that we have to sit in a certain way. They do not do that out there when they hold rallies. Hon. Speaker, you have been out there in rallies and you do not tell the crowds to sit one metre apart. It is important that we open up so that Members can exercise their mandate. Yesterday, I saw that the positivity rate was around 0.6 per cent, namely, 20 people out of 3,600. The vaccination exercise is going on and almost everyone in this House has been vaccinated. It is time the House is opened for Members to exercise their mandate without any restrictions. Of course, we will keep the masks on, but I would like to sit near my brother. I always sit here, but today I have been displaced. I am the acting Leader of the Minority Party for today. However, I want to go back to my seat, exchange ideas with my brother and debate like we have always done. Hon. Speaker, open the House."
