    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, of late I have been quite cynical, but your statement has reassured me. Initially, when I talked about some of these matters even in the public domain over the weekend, I came under a barrage of insults. I was told that the Senate does not know what its duty is, despite the fact that Section 50 the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act says that the thresholds shall be set by Parliament, being the National assembly and the Senate. Out of that cynicism, I had even prepared a statement that was to be read in the House today. In your wisdom, which I commend, you directed that because this Communication was coming today, the Statement was therefore not going to be valid. I appreciate that and will not push any further for that Statement. Some of the issues that I wanted to emphasise have been emphasised. The one that needs to be repeated many times is that Parliament has not yet made a decision on the debt ceiling. Maybe we need to find a way of making this information go out to the public. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
