I am making a declaration of vote on behalf of the ANC.
Hon House Chairperson, I am not sure if everybody has read the judgment. I know hon Dr Oriani-Ambrosini has, but he would obviously like to refer to it in the form and give it the spin that he wants. One of the things that Dr Oriani-Ambrosini asked was that his Bill on trade and industry be treated the same way as a Minister's Bill would be, and that the court should order that the Bill be treated in the same way. The court said it wasn't going to do that, and stated that it was up to the National Assembly and Parliament in general to decide how they would deal with private members' Bills.
The key requirement is that private members' Bills need to be introduced, they need to be reflected in the Announcements, Tablings and Committee Reports, and they need to be referred to a committee and deliberated on.
As the Acting Deputy Chief Whip of the Majority Party said, this is an interim measure and it is for us to see how things go, because at the moment, Dr Oriani-Ambrosini, our Rules don't actually provide specifically for the introduction of a private member's Bill. You say you have introduced a Bill, but I haven't seen any reference to it or seen it on the Order Paper or anything. Maybe it is there, but I don't know.
What is most surprising is that this document that we are debating now in these declarations was put to the Rules Committee. Everybody was there. Dr Oriani-Ambrosini came late, because he said he hadn't been notified, but everybody else came and everybody else supported it. I remember the hon Kilian saying that she accepted it for now. Now she has changed her mind. Hon Kalyan from the DA supported it. [Interjections.]
