- National Treasury Management Agency (Amendment) Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 May 2014)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I am glad to speak about this because there is probably no more important a subject we could discuss than strategic investment, which is the key to getting this country out of the economic mess it is in.
