However, there are some good things happening.
- Seven indigenous people have been elected to the Parliament. This is a record. And its a good one.
- There are more women in Parliament than ever before and most of them are top quality. Cheers.
- My friend Milton Dick was elected Speaker. He will reform the way in which the entire Parliament and its staff go about their business. Discrimination by gender or race or religion will not be tolerated.
Did I enjoy this visit to Parliament? YES.

Is there really a positive attitude of change in the Parliament? YES
We can enjoy life with confident calm so long as we live and work with skill, confidence, determination and persistence, while ensuring there is justice for all.
Grace and Peace.
