The reasons for our ever-growing tepidness are many: from MMP to the mainstream and social media environments. But some of your efforts, Mr Speaker, to turn this place into more of a school library than a debating chamber—respectfully—haven't helped. My view is that over centuries, Parliaments that are in the same tradition as ours—among the roles they've fulfilled, such as the development of policy and laws—have also played some very primal ones that are still important, such as saying what needs to be said, or maybe what doesn't. That lets off society's steam like a pressure valve, at a difficult or delicate time. The jaw-jaw sometimes—even if it's a bit hee-haw hee-haw in here—is better than war-war out there. And we've, sadly, seen little of that very recently. I suppose my point is that we over-sanitise this place at our and, more importantly, society's peril.
