The President is doing a lot of work on the continent through the New Economic Partnership for Africa's Development, Nepad, programmes and the African Union, AU, forums. [Interjections.] We have 5 key priorities in this government and 12 outcomes.
In your history, I am sure, you don't have performance agreements with your members. [Interjections.] We have performance agreements with the President. That you have never seen! [Applause.]
Also, I don't know whether you can compare a budget of 1994 with a budget of 2011 ... [Interjections.] ... even in your own households! [Interjections.] Mr Speaker, you would remember that members of the opposition will come here and want to oppose many budgets, but they will never oppose the budget of the legislature because their salaries are in it. [Applause.]
But, Mr President, I also never knew that members can come here to lobby you for positions in missions. Hon Lekota was standing here, trying to plead with you to deploy him to Uruguay. I thought that I heard him say that. [Applause.]
