    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have sat here very patiently listening to the debate. I start by saying that the issue of gender has been discussed for many years and it is always emotive. I sat because I have had an opportunity to work on this as my main job for three years. I have seen the value in discussing gender issues with concern, calmly and without emotions. The fact that there should be equality between the genders is no longer an issue to be discussed against or for. It is clear that really we need that equality for harmony in society. What has always bothered me is that when it comes, on both sides, you do not see calmness or facts being put across, but you see emotions that actually stop people from looking at the issues that are there. What are the issues for the case that we have today? We have the issue of gender. I have talked about the issue of the Constitution. We have not really discussed in detail today the logistics of the size of the Houses that we require and we need to put into consideration. We also have the issue of a court case. We have been told that someone has gone to court to say that Parliament is not legal as it is and we have the issue of this Bill itself. We need to look at these issues individually and see where the matter lies. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
