A late night speech
December 13th, 2010 at 5:11 am by David FarrarWhat do you do when it is 11.45 pm at night, and you suddenly find out you have to give a speech on a Customs bill. The MP for Tauranga did well in the circumstances!

Well, I suppose it was better than Hilary Calvert’s 48 second “not my favourite thing but I’m voting for it anyway” effort, and certainly better than Jonathan Coleman reading a speech delivered two years earlier on a different Bill altogether.

Why are things being done under urgency and when there is noone around to effectively debate them?
There should be a quorum for bills being passed/debated under urgency.
The level of seriousness is really slack for a bill that is supposed to be urgent.

or hell any of the crazy rattlings of the patchouli brigade in the greens section.
if toad wants a nuttiest speech contest hes standing with the wrong crowd if he thinks hes not going to win all of them for his barking lot.

@Stephen – presume you meant Churchillian in way Lady Astor described – if so he was missing the Churchillian response even if he had the condition.

@Trevor – just agreeing with the indomitable member’s opinion of himself in this case.
