There's this old saying, "Brevity is the soul of wit." So I guess to not be brief might be said to be "wit-less", which is probably what I would conclude from a man who—the Hon Scott Simpson, who I greatly respected as the chairman of the Environment Committee when I served on it while he was in Government. I say that because his speech was a lot of huff and puff—used up the whole 10 minutes and didn't actually say anything of any worth, tragically.
