NATIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION - Yes, but we are old and wise now, Michael. The hon Ambrosini - yes, it's a new world order, but you don't just accept what is there. We need to engage with the world that is increasingly hostile to poverty and inequality. This means we must rise up and raise the voice that calls for justice and equity in the world. That is fundamentally important, otherwise we will go along with the likes of Silvio Berlusconi and say that is the new world order. It is inappropriate. We must define what is in the interests of the world's poor.
The hon Ndude raised issues of water. In broad terms, we accept, recognise and call for the support in managing the resource more wisely. It is not a ministerial responsibility; it's a responsibility for all of us.
I would just like to make one little appeal, namely that we don't hyperventilate about all manner of climate change issues. Yes, there are norms, it's cold in Cape Town at the moment, but it isn't because of the ravages of climate change just yet. We need slightly different and more rational approaches to ensure that we deal with this adequately. Thank you. [Applause.]
