A child's interest is of paramount importance in every matter concerning the child, as it is set out in the Constitution. What we seek to do, the hon member has deliberately decided that she is going to exaggerate. We should not accept that. There is no way that we on this side would have fought the kind of struggles we have.
She stands here and says that we would like to muzzle the media. We have said so from day one that it was not our intention to do that. It is a very fine balance that we seek to achieve here. We have worked very hard to arrive at this point. [Interjections.] Even beyond that, it is important that we note that even the Promotion of Equality Act limits publication of anything which impinges on the dignity of persons on the basis of race, religion or gender. This is not to be challenged. The right is absolute.
I am appalled at the conduct of the DA and I really think ... [Interjections.] ... I think you are in an invidious position, sitting there with your members misbehaving like this.
The HOUSE CHAIRPERSON (Ms C-S Botha): Hon Minister, I must call you to order. [Applause.] Hon members, it is absolutely not acceptable to reflect on the objectivity of the Chair. I cannot accept that. I will repeat what I have said before: Interjections come from all sides of the House but to harass a speaker by making him or her inaudible, is not acceptable. I hope that everybody will retain that in their minds. Hon Chauke, on what point of order are you rising?
