    "content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the permission to speak to this Bill. The realisation of universal education free of any impediments is guaranteed in the Constitution; same as social rights like the right to housing, the right to food, the right to good nutrition, the right to clean water, the right to a clean environment et cetera . It takes the will of the Government of the day to realise these rights. If we want these rights not just to be realised as a manifesto of the ruling clique or as a gift to the people, then we need very cogent and firm legislation so that it does not end where it starts. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether you have heard the opportunity and privilege to visit a country called Cuba. Cuba is a country that has been under siege from their powerful neighbour America from 1959. Thanks to President Obama who is attempting to relax the stranglehold on Cuba but very slowly. Because I have visited the country many times, Cuba is a country that I have greater admiration for. In fact, one of my sons is called Fidel, named after Fidel Castro. I always say that this is a country that has done so much with so little. In Cuba, education is free from pre-school to PhD. As long as you have the ability to learn, you go to nursery, primary, secondary--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
