The Minister might be in a hurry home to her partner and kids. I wish them all well. In fairness to the Minister, she seems to be grappling with some of the issues since getting her new post. There are many to be grappled with. I also hope that the staff - I am sorry, as I did not see the female staff because the Acting Chairman was blocking my view - and anyone else who wants to celebrate this night can enjoy it. I will not take too long with my speech.
