David Norris (Independent)

I am glad I was not involved in the paean of self-congratulation that occupied almost the first hour of the Order of Business. Members are reasonably well paid to do the job we do. I notice the Leader complimented herself on the tweaking of this week's business. I believe there has been far too much tweaking. I and others do not appreciate that having arranged our schedules to accommodate five sitting days this week, we then discover, thanks to the generous assistance of the Opposition, that we will not meet tomorrow after all.
