| Message | We are conflicted. Our personal opinion is that 'nationality' shouldn't be automatic for anyone - citzen by birth, or otherwise. Thus, while this is a policy shift in the wrong direction (to our thinking), it is a drop in a bucket... and may, indeed, lead to stronger borders. Thus, we find ourselves voting against our own agenda orientation... to further the greater good. |

| Message | A good bill. We're surprised by the party who are proposing it. But a very good bill. Makes sense, we support. |
| Date | 12:00:45, February 24, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Tightening our Borders |
| Message | We suspect that this issue is more about pandering to some party faithful that were losing the faith... than about a real concern for the issues. |

| Message | We are pleased indeed to see a central part of our party platform being enshrined in law, even if it did take another party to propose it, after our proposal failed. |
