    "content": "“The rights and fundamental freedoms in the Bill of Rights belong to each individual and are not granted by the state”. These rights and freedoms, honourable colleagues, are not given to you by the state, or by the government or by a political party or a political coalition or a select committee of this House. The Constitution is absolutely clear that the rights belong to each individual and are not granted by anybody; they are God-given. In an environment where political parties have not matured to a level where they can assure you 100 per cent of the remaining faithful, paying the highest fidelity to the tenets of democracy and to live by their own internal rules, we cannot subject ourselves to the tyranny of political parties."
