“We have had discussions at the last two National Council hui about the ETS, and have received a great deal of information from the parliamentary wing of the party, to inform us as a National Council”.

“The mischievous making from unknown individuals, whilst sensational, will not change our resolve and distract us from the important work in hand”.
