"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as much as I love the Press and as much as I want them to be free, I think they should also not seek to gag this House in what it does. The fact that you say something that does not support this Bill when you are debating does not mean that you do not like the Press. It is very disheartening. We want to do the right thing. If the media thinks that anything that this House does is draconian, then let them bring us the Bill they want us to pass and we will pass it for them. It is that bad. It is good that the media also gives us a chance to debate laws that relate to them. We want to do the best and we want the right thing for this country. That is why I will propose a number of amendments to make this Bill what I think will help this country achieve a free, independent and self-regulating media."
