General Debate statements

42 statements to the General Debate since 1982, 115,923 words in all. The longest was 1986, at 4,249 words, delivered by Mr. BIRD.

Of the 32 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Prime Minister ×17, UN Representative ×9, Prime Minister and Minister for Finance and Corporate Governance ×3, Prime minister ×1. Earlier years are excluded because UN records do not consistently identify a speaker’s post before 1994, and counting those years as though they did would make any state look as though it sent nobody senior.
