In contrast, Mr Speaker, you may recall that this time last year I addressed you and said that while you have enormous power and privilege in that seat, one thing you can't control is the way that people will judge your character for the choices you make and the way you behave while there. I'm afraid to say that, in my view, the choices you've made over the last 24 hours have diminished that character further than even I could have imagined. The simple answer is: if you feel unable to explain those events to the House, then maybe you should not take the position, or maybe your colleagues on the other side of the House should take it from you.
