    "content": "forth. However, I can tell you that if you go to the archives, there were days when Sen. Sakaja - it is on record - had a low opinion about this House. It is on record that there are days when Sen. Outa had an extremely low opinion of this House. There was a time Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud, who is now fighting the Division of Revenue Bill was a Member of the National Assembly’s House Business Committee (HBC) and he had a low opinion about this House. Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not want to talk about the Speaker. This is because I do not wish to collide with you. However, I never saw your comments but you were in that House and now you are here. A number of our colleagues in the National Assembly will find themselves in this House.

I beg to move and request the Senate Minority Leader to second."
