"content": " Order Senators! I want to remind you that this is a legislative assembly. This is a debating chamber. One of my responsibilities, as Speaker for now, is to ensure that everybody is given adequate opportunity and time to give his or her views. I want to remind you that however extreme or different somebody’s views may be different from your own, it is that person’s democratic right to air them here. You will also have your time when given. That is why I ordered that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale tables this document because we cannot just accept hearsay in this debating Chamber. Having listened to what he presented and his points, you are free to take your time and to negate everything that he presented. I would like us to proceed in that manner and state that I have taken my time to look at the six documents he has presented dated variously; 7th March, 2012, 23rd April, 2012, 3rd April, 2012, 3rd March 2012, 27th March, 2012 and 15th March 2012. I want to announce to you that these documents are on what to me is an authentic letterhead and all of them are signed by one Mr. Omar A. Dhadho, who has signed for the Commissioner for Refugee Affairs on each page and there is an official rubberstamp. You are in order to interrogate the documents. I hereby submit to you that they are authentic documents and we are going to accept them. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
