    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I think casting aspersions on the Chair is like casting aspersions on the whole House. You have already said much about the rules of the House. We have been here and several times I have been moving Bills. I have always been complaining about absence of Members, especially in that coalition. Many times the other coalition votes by walking out. They seek sympathy through the Press that we oppose this Bill, yet they are in the House. They do not oppose it in the House. They walk out and then oppose it in the Press. I think discipline requires that if you walk out, you should be ready to face the consequences of your walking out. You listen to them now saying that they did not bring that complaint, but when they go out they say all manner of things. They should always remain in the House to vote. You have rightly said that you do not vote and I have never seen you vote. You have rightly said that you do not bring Bills in this House. I am a witness to that. You have never brought any Bill to the House. Therefore, the other coalition should manage their affairs, and should accept the consequences of their decisions. Many people will want to play to the gallery."
