| Message | We could support articles 1 and 6 and maybe article 3 (though really the private sector should be left alone to set up gated communities if they really want to). Article 5, we can possibly be convinced as we agree with the sentiment but feel that freedom of speech needs to be protected. Articles 2 and 4 we cannot support |

| Message | 2 will cause me to vote no. Who on Earth thought the old value on 4 was a good idea?!? If only I'd have known... |

| Message | Yes I was shocked when I saw we were still in the dark ages of private libraries. Oh well, this is an omnibus reform package so I suppose we basically have to accept that it's not to everyone's liking. |

| Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
