Deputy Speaker, the ACDP wishes to reiterate its objection to Budget Vote No 1 - The Presidency for the reasons articulated during the Budget Vote debate and for the reasons articulated by other speakers today.
What is possibly most significant is Reserve Bank Governor Gill Marcus's call for decisive leadership to tackle the country's domestic challenges which, in her view, are of crisis proportions. This, of course, implies that there is a lack of decisive leadership, and it is for this reason that the ACDP will not support this Vote. I thank you.
