    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to make very brief comments about this Report, bearing in mind that amongst the people that I represent in this House, are members of the Talai community. This community today continues to wallow in extreme poverty, thanks to the atrocities that were committed against them by the colonial Government. I have had the opportunity to briefly read through the report and listen to some of the recommendations. However, two things come to mind. Mr. Speaker, Sir, history has taught us well that part of the reasons why human beings succeed is when they get a good foundation from their family. The reason why members of the Talai Clan continue to wallow in poverty is because one of the things that the colonialists did was to destabilize them and get them off their ancestral land. This report does not, in any way, propose measures and ways in which the Talai can be compensated either monetarily or otherwise. I wish that this report had gone into depths, saying that in as much as we may not bring Koitalel Arap Samoei and other members of the Talai Clan back to life, the known members of that clan who still live today can be compensated. This will, at least, make 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."
