Hon RON MARK (Minister of Defence): Thank you, Mr Chair. It is with some sadness that I have prised myself away from my desk and put my work aside to come down to the Chamber to make a contribution, because I have never ever heard, and I never ever expected to hear, from the Hon Alfred Ngaro such a sanctimonious, condescending contribution in my entire time in this House, and I've been here for a lot longer than that member has.
