Surely, Mr Speaker, when the Lord Chief
Justice himself is the victim of robbery...
:32:20
...the time has come for legislation.
The present system is no system at all.
:32:25
We need a Police Act now.
:32:26
I'm obliged to the Honourable gentleman
for raising this important matter...
:32:30
...but, as usual, he evades the issue.
:32:33
I assume, Mr Speaker,
that the Lord Chief Justice...
:32:36
...is referring, in his customary
cheeseparing manner...
:32:39
Cheeseparing!
:32:41
Sir, hang the expense!
The issue is freedom.
:32:44
With a government-controlled police force,
freedom is a lamb led to the slaughter.
:32:48
We all know what you're interested in,
and it certainly isn't freedom!
:32:53
(uproar)
:32:56
Order!
:33:14
Are you never without your Bible,
Mr Chance?
:33:17
It's a great consolation to me
in these wicked times.
:33:22
The prime minister wishes to know how
soon you can catch these highwaymen.
:33:26
Very soon, given adequate means.
:33:30
Mr Chance, may I ask you
in the strictest confidence...
:33:35
What is your opinion
of the Lord Chief Justice?
:33:39
A fine man and a worthy master.
:33:43
But?
:33:46
Well, since you press me...
:33:48
...I must be frank. I think he's tired.
:33:52
The job needs someone more energetic...
:33:55
...with an ear closer to the ground.
:33:59
You know, I do hate to be critical...
