I do not agree with the old trope that is put out that everybody is talking rubbish except myself, which is what the Deputy's position is. We need to reflect on that. This is a parliamentary debate where people have legitimate views they can put forward. I may disagree with the Opposition on certain issues but I respect its right to put points to me. I do not declare everything is rubbish and say the Minister is listening to people with no brains as if everybody out there is foolish and stupid.
