Luke Flanagan: The majority of the commentary on the Government's deal regarding the promissory note is headlined as positive. From reading this piece of paper I was given, that is exactly what it is about. It is all about perception and keeping it positive even if that is not the reality.

Promissory Notes: Motion (12 Feb 2013)

Even if this was true,...

Promissory Notes: Motion (12 Feb 2013)
