    "content": "As I wind up, in this Bill, we spent more time not discussing the substance and the content of the Bill, almost 80 per cent of our time was spent disagreeing on the title of the Bill. That is something that surprises me. I have been in this Parliament for a while and we have legislated a lot. The title of the Bill is usually drawn from the content of the Bill. If you look at this Bill, you will find that it is over 90 per cent physical planning. There is an element of some land use but, again, some professionals appeared before us and ably explained that land use is a subset of physical planning in the context that the Bill was drawn. In fact, you will be surprised that Senators kept telling us that if they do that, they will be killed. It is clear to me that the Senate and the National Assembly deal with Bills differently. When the Senate rejects a Bill or they make amendments to it, they insist that what they have done must be accepted by the National Assembly. It is not only on the Physical Planning Bill, but also on the Division of revenue Bill. They kept repeating the words “No! No! That one,"
