It is spectacular to suggest that public discourse and public trust in the institutions of the State, including the Government, would not be relevant to the Parliament. I am not seeking to stir it at all. In fact I am looking for the opposite, so that we do not have the sort of spectacle we had last week, where a resignation had to be dragged from a Minister, where people were sent on radio and television saying that he had done no wrong but then seemed to change their minds.
