transcription:
I remember in primary school we were delighted when we heard that they were throwing ink wells in parliament. We only had slates to write on. And that they rattled their desk tops. That was my first impression of conditions in parliament. You didn't hear anything good about parliament. Even though my father always said: "Stop criticising, it's no use" and so on. "It has to be done differently." But democracy itself, as it was presented didn't have a good name.
