"content": "I congratulate my brother Sen. Mungatana, EGH, who has been in this House for a very long time. What he has said today has made me have extreme amount of respect for him. Let us not sacrifice this House on the expediency of the political wars that are taking place in this country. Let us protect this House because this House is protected for me to come and discuss anything, particularly issues of national interest. I may not be able to speak them out there because somebody may sue me and say that I have destroyed their name and made allegations against them which are all false. The privilege and protection that I have in this House allows me to discuss anybody and anything so long as it is within the law. These are the Standing Orders and the Constitution. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg you to be greater than many of us and even yourself. Make a ruling that protects the Senate. Allow the two parties to go and fight out there, but allow this House to be independent and for it to do what it is legitimately meant to do."
