It includes the Deputy Speaker! [Laughter.]
The third and last lesson is discipline. I shall never forget how Mr P W Botha drilled this into us new members 35 years ago. "Be a disciplined member," he said, pointing that finger.
Pasop vir julle. [Beware, you lot.]
So be disciplined. Attend all your committee and other meetings. Never be late. A disciplined and successful member never arrives at a meeting without being properly prepared. Then you will make meaningful contributions and you will earn respect.
In conclusion, if we as Members of Parliament, going into the festive season, remain humble, live lives of respect for others and are really disciplined people, we will be able to accomplish huge successes in the service of our fatherland. After 35 years in Parliament, I now look forward to the next 35! [Laughter.] [Applause.]
