they know that most people out there in the community recognise that we are doing the things that have to be done. We did not run away. We did not deny that there was a problem, and we are not running away from it.
Mr Moore: On a point of order, Mr Speaker: The answers to questions shall be brief and to the point. I was just wondering whether he is going to sack Mr Collaery.
