Point of order, Mr. Speaker. The Government and the country have a plan. It is called the National Tourism Plan. That is the plan for tourism, and there is also an Air Service Development Plan. Both are currently in train. Both are currently being acted on. And both currently have different phased approaches. So there is a plan, and it …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise and would like this House to send a letter of congratulations to Dashun Cooper, who has now gone to the Development Centre goalkeeping coach for Crystal Palace. I remember when I first met Dashun, who ended up becoming my goalkeeping coach, and I have since gone on to become a semi -professional non- competitive …

So what I want to do is really congratulate him. I remember when he told me back in 2016 that he was going to leave the bank and go into goalkeeping coaching full -time. And I thought he was crazy but look where it has taken him. His hard work and his dedication have taken him all the way to …

Thank you, Mr. Acting Speaker. The Honourable Member made it personal when he started talking about constituency 24. For the last 30 years, three decades, there has been a Scott who has represented the people’s wishes, comments, concerns and necessities of that area. The Honour able Member got up and made it seem as though an MP standing up and …

No, no airplanes involved in this one. It is a story that my grandfather told me. He was telling me, a gentleman has a horse. And he is going to take the horse out and as he goes to put (and I might get the terminology wrong so please forgive me) the bridle and the bit between the horse’s mouth …

Now, Mr. Acting Speaker, the reason I told that story is because of the fact that we are hearing some disturbing narratives coming from the Opposition. The Opposition said it was wrong that the MP of the area . . . I declare my interest; it was my father. That he was wrong for standing up for his people. That …

Thank you very much. For those who are out there who are unfamiliar with the term “fiduciary responsibility,” that is ensuring that all due diligence is done, making sure that there are no decisions [made] that are causing wastage of money or that are not going to meet the accounting stan dards, and to make sure that the finances work …

Let me tell you something about airlines and aviation. The thing is this: When they built the new airport, the expenses got passed on to the customer. If you look at your airline ticket . . . remember, there was a time when it cost $25 to leave the country. That was the added tax. That was the departure tax. …

And in those five years there were two decisio ns that caused half a billion dollars in our debt. So they made two decisions which took up 15 per cent of our national debt. In just two decisions and they were there for five years, and they made more than two decisions. So you tell me where the national debt …

So the Honourable Member just said that decisions five years ago cannot be held to impact us today. But he just said that decisions made 20 years ago are impacting us today. Once again, there is a narrative that if you dare speak out against the status quo, if you dare speak out against the developers or the one- percenters …

Okay. Thank you to the Premier for bringing this legislation. And Mr. Speaker, I am in support of whatever we can do to generate jobs and investment in to our country. I find it a bit ironic, though, Mr. Speaker, that this morning the Premier criticised the OBA about making comments about attracting foreign direct i nvestment and yet, here …
