• 30 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe that I have very beautiful legs. Therefore, if I fell down right here, the ladies will be concerned about my health while the men would be concerned about other things. I did not mean it in a derogatory manner.

However, we need to get away from the belief that ... view
