I want people in the House like the Leader of this House, like Senator Whelan and Senator Gilroy, who have known what it is like to be unemployed. Should people really be expected to come off the unemployment register and to work for nothing? If so, people are living in cloud cuckoo land and I do not give a damn if it is unpopular, I am saying it and I will not stop saying it. I sometimes work a 12 to 14-hour day but I will not do it for nothing.
