David Norris (Independent)

The Minister of State complimented Senator Regan on his ingenuity. I compliment the Minister of State on the ingenuity and variety of his methods of evading or avoiding accepting amendments. It is a remarkable intellectual exercise and I regret that I will not be here for the entire afternoon to appreciate the full repertoire of the Minister of State's manoeuvres. However, I am an admirer and I wish to put this on the record of the House.
