I join my colleagues in asking for a plea from you. This matter about one-third or two-thirds gender rule is not about women. It affects all of us. Right now, we may try to play about it because we are nearing elections, but what happens after the 2017 elections? What happens in the other Parliament if we are not able to elect the one-third or two-thirds gender? As much as we may look at this Bill or this matter as a women issue, the youth are also affected, together with people living with disabilities. I humbly request that you defer this matter until we have the numbers. I urge my colleagues, both female and male Senators, please, let us save this country. This will at least give a face to the Senators. We will be seen as having been able to do something that is remarkable to this nation. We will be remembered for this important Bill and devolution."}
