    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Report and also make several observations. First and foremost, I appreciate the Committee’s findings, particularly in terms of the concessions made by the IEBC, in ensuring that there will be a dignified exit for the members of that commission. However, as is the practice of law, that will not stop any other processes where anybody has criminal culpability of being held responsible for any crime that might have been committed by people individually. I wish well those who will exit. Some have exited based largely on the premise of ensuring that this nation is greater than them; not because there is any culpability or guilt established on their part. Time is short and I cannot speak on all areas I would have wished to speak on. However, nothing in the proposals of this Report must formulate foundations of law that will abrogate other fundamental freedoms. We come here and pretend that we want to build political parties that are founded on certain ideologies. Let us debunk this myth that all our political parties are founded on any particular ideologies. Most of these ideological issues are issues of plebiscite. Look at the composition of our membership. 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."
