Debate
Industry and Exports (Financial Assistance) BillContribution
Given that ours was the first country in the history of the world to abolish slavery, the record of this House should remain that wherever we see slavery we will stamp it out. This is yet another way of doing that, so I urge the Minister to go off script and say that he will do this. It is morally right, it is economically right, and it is right for this House, and the people elected to it, to get this done.
