I seek to clarify a small matter in relation to an adjournment speech I gave last night. The 'Oh, what a tangled web we weave' quotation I referred to last night was originally thought to have come from Shakespeare. Literary experts tell me it was actually first used by Scott. It is important to be correct on this. The proposed wind farm project on the former Gunns site recently morphed into a tourist project. I also referred to Mr Oquist as having worked for the MEP, the Motoring Enthusiast Party. In fact, his reported official engagement was with the PUP. Small matters but it is important to correct them. Thank you.
