Whoever wrote the speech is a good civil servant. We should be very conscious of that. We are fortunate with the people who work in the administration of democracy in this country. There are other countries we could name here, of which the Senator will know a few, that are not as fortunate in their civil and public servants as we are. I was reared with the ethos that one should never judge others by one's own standards. No one sitting on our benches every day of the week to administer justice operates only in his or her own self-interest.
