    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Debates keep on raging in this country on who is the actual enemy of devolution. It is not too clear, but I am starting to think that Senators, governors and Members of the National Assembly are actually enemies of devolution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Members of the National Assembly are enemies of devolution, including myself. I say this with maximum respect because the object of this Bill is a simple thing - to provide a tool to transfer additional funds from the national Government to the devolved governments in accordance with the recommendation of the Constitution. So, the process was done as you will remember and at its tail end, the recommendations which came from the first enemy - Members of the National Assembly - then disagreed with us. So, we sat and disagreed with them, then created a mediation committee. When you sent us to that mediation committee, we were shown the middle finger. To hell with it. This is the reason why we are now dealing with this business at the end of the financial year. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
