David Ettridge's speech

Shortly after the beginning of David Ettridge speech, there was an interjection from a front-row spectator who did not agree with something Ettridge said about Sinn Fein. After a short argument, the gentleman made his point and was allowed to stay on. A popular point in Ettridge speech was his swipe at the large companies who avoid paying taxes. Another point that received unreserved applause was when Mr Ettridge said that ATSIC had failed aborigines. At 8:33pm his speech ended and members of the audience were invited to ask questions.
