Late at night without any consultation with the opposition and in the hope that nobody notices, is frankly, and i hope the leader of the house understand this concept, not cricket. It is to admit that rather than when the case for this bill as it stands, the executive wa nts bill as it stands, the executive wants no challenge to it at all. And that, whether you think this is a good thing or not, should be a concern for all of us in this house because if we let this lie, it will become Standard Practice in the future. This is not the first time the government, when backed into a corner, has tried such a measure. It didnt also on the 24th of october last year with legislation on Northern Ireland. Thankfully, then the government saw sense and agreed to restore it, which is what amendment see c will do.

Sugarcoat our mistake we should at mit but what is good is that the a. N. C. Did at some point to listen to Civil Society and they did a tear to the will of the people and hence the many lives were saved. Or not note were going to shift to our audience whove been waiting here to come in. Here in the 2nd row thank you to mila publica while the state was being looted universities were being chronically underfunded and in 2015 in 2016 the fees must for movement shook the country and put this on the National Agenda many of us suffered injuries from Police Brutality at the time in fact some students were killed Benjamin Petilla was killed at u.
