Now, the member Mr Greg O'Connor asked: well, what's happened in the last two years and why does it equally concern me? It is because it is the change in the culture of this place that goes with this law. The moment members of this Parliament know that any one of the party leaders has the power to fire a member means that the courage of our convictions is watered down and the duties that we have as a member of Parliament to represent our people and to stand up for what we believe is eroded. One of the great values that I think is at the core of Kiwi values is a tolerance of dissent—that while we may disagree, we will vigorously defend the right of others to be able to respect their opinions, and in no place is the right of dissent as important as in this Parliament.
