A political battle was made of the Bill today, particularly by Senator Ruane. I actually complimented them all on this issue they are bringing forward. I was a councillor for 18 years and worked with young people. I am a mother of four children. I canvassed from a very young age so I know exactly what I am talking about and I represent everyone. Senator Ruane asked whom we are representing. I have just given statistics of elections I have gone through. I fought five local and general elections. I do not know whether you have ever been through any such elections. Have you fought a local or general election, Senator?
