There is one thing we can do and I ask the Leader to put it to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. We can operate the human rights provisions of the external agreement of the European Union. We should not be trading with a rogue state. It grieves me to say that because it is a state I love.

I seek a debate on President Bush's visit. He is perfectly entitled to come here but the citizens of this country also have rights. As an elected representative, I am horrified to learn that our Government will hand a licence to kill to agents of Mr. "Gunslinger" Bush. This is being done and they are saying they have diplomatic immunity so they cannot be prosecuted.
