Prime
Minister(
正方一辩
)
r,
members of the House , ladies and gentlemen:
It is quite simply no longer fit for
purpose .
We argue that the
reasons for this are that ...
We
do
not
think
that
the
way
to
do
that
is
to ...
,but
rather
to ...
and
question whether X is ...
If
X is ..., it is because ...
We offer a
number of arguments in support of this ,
regarding: 1, 2,3,4
I will be dealing
with the first of these ,and mu deputy will expand
on the
others , but first ,so some key
definitions . We define
“”
to be ...
We
think
that
’
s
clear
,and
unambiguous
,and
we
hope
the
Opposition
accepts it as
such .
We will expand on this when we
discuss our first argument.
The
model
we
put
forward
is
also
simple.
According
to
the
above
definition,...
So, to our
first argument : what is the purpose of prison ,
how does it
correspond to the broader
aims of the criminal justice system , and how
does
it
work
for
violent
offenders
in
these
regards
,
but
not
for
other
types of offenders ?
It is ...that...To continue :...
So, r , because ...,because...,and
because,as my partner will go
on to
explain ,...,we stand firmly by the proposal
that...

Leader
of Opposition(
反一)
r, members of the House , ladies and
gentlemen:
On opposition today , we
will talk to you about ...we will also talk to you
about ...
Before we do ,we
would like to move to some rebuttal of specific
points
made by Prime Minister,
We challenge the Prime
Minister
’
s assertion that
...and we wait to hear
what
justification or evidence the Government has for
this .
On our side of the House ,we
point to ...
We have only to look at...
Second,we think ...
On this
point ,we have two responses ...
And so
we move, r, to our positive matter:...
r ,we wish you to consider...
I will deal with each of these ideas
separately.
To get back to my speech
Finally ,if you want...if you want...
If you want...
If you hope for, and
believe in better , you know you have to side with
the Opposition in this debate.

Deputy Prime
Minister(
正二
)
r,
members of the House , ladies and gentlemen:what
we have
told you from Government today
is that ...and some needs to be done.
We have told you that...and we provided
a solution:...
Opposition
’
s
response
to
that
has
been
simplistic
,and
short
-sighted.
They
tell
us
simply
to...
And
they
fail
completely
to
address
the
idea
that ... Instead ,they argue that ...
I have two major points to bring to
this debate. First,I will show exactly
why ...is
due
significantly
to
1...2...;
I
will
then
move
the
discussion
to
what
might
be
done
better
for
non-violent
offenders.
Before
I
do
,
I
would like to
address specifically the points coming from
Opposition. The
Opposition Leader
raises two potential consequences of our policy .
We agree with him that ...but we reject
...
We think it far more likely that
...
r, it is still the fact that
So ,to the remaining points
of Government today, these being:1,2
It
is not as simple as ...
We have to
accept that...
We are proud to propose.

Deputy Leader of
Opposition
(反二)
r,
members of the House , ladies and
gentlemen:Government
today has told us
that... Presumably, if they decided the numbers of
road
accidents were too large ,they
would restrict private car use ,and if they
decided
children
too
fat
,they
would
ban
everyone
from
eating
McDonald
’<
/p>
s,because
when
they
tell
us
that
prison
isn
’
t
working
for
non-
violent offenders,their solution is to punish
everyone in society .
I
have
two
major
arguments
in
Opposition
today:
first
,
I
will
argue
that...and second, I will consider...
Before
that
,I
will
address
a
few
points
of
rebuttal
that
do
not
fit
as
neatly into my constructive material.
What
we
have
heard
from
the
Opening
Government
has
been
an
unsubstantiated
contention
that...we
have
heard
that...but
we
haven
’
t
heard why. Why
can
’
t we debate why...
Further
,r,what
we
have
heard
from
Government
has
been
vague
and imprecise. All the meaningful data have been
absent from this
debate,
and
we
are
left
with
the
idea
that
some
things
from
the
Government might be true,if other
things are also true;we just have noo
way of knowing.
From
Opposition,we have told you that...
r,
the gulf between the two sides of
today
’
s debate is clear. On
the
one
hand,we
have
a
Government
unclear
as
to
the
true
nature
or
