*** "I don't think we should waste our time discussing these papers. Let's do some useful work.'' -- Opposition leader Mr. Frederick Wade, who ignored his own advice and spoke for well over an hour on the papers.

*** "Compendium? That sounds like a Dr. Saul word ... it's the kind of word used to make people think something is important.'' -- Mr. Wade.

*** "These papers are full of woolly thinking, rushed ideas and incomplete ideas.'' -- Mr. Wade again.

*** "There's been a long period of a full moon around here. It's affecting everyone.'' -- Mr. Wade yet again.
