A Legislature Cannot Be Effective While Suffering

When I First Started Out In Politics I Was, What You Might Describe As, A Hard Right Conservative.

There's No Point In Worrying About Things You Can't Influence.

I Don't Want To Crawl Over The Entrails Of Past Disputes.

I Pride Myself On Being Courteous To People, And Trying To Fashion Good Relations.

I Think The Record Shows That As Speaker, I Have Taken The Lead In Cleaning Up Politics.
