Transcript
I want to register a complaint here. These two Ministers, we spoke for 8 minutes, 8 or 9 minutes. He never listened to one word that we said. Both the two of you, you were talking, you're ignorant. Deputy, that is not a point of order. Deputy, if you have a complaint, Deputy, there is a format for making a complaint. This is not it and that is not a point of order. Please respect the Chair. If you have an issue with the Minister, there is a pathway for you to take that up. This is not it.
