| Message | Current: No foreigners are permitted to reside permanently in this nation. Alternatives: o There are quotas based on nationality to determine how many foreigners may reside permanently in this nation. o Quotas are based on individual applicant's qualifications. o Everyone is allowed to reside permanently in this nation. This is separate to the one we usually debate. -------------------------------------------------------------------- We would be in favour of "Everyone is allowed to reside permanently in this nation", as it does not conflict with current legislation, but as this is most likely unacceptable to parties, we will settle for the proposed. |

| Date | 08:16:00, July 22, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the Immigration Act |
| Message | We would prefer that 'everyone is allowed', and if the votes for that are available would suggest it be changed. If they are not, then the proposal is tolerable, and a dramatic improvement from current laws. |

| Date | 07:34:21, July 25, 2005 CET | From | Family First Party | To | Debating the Immigration Act |
| Message | Any (almost) proposal is better than the current. If we want to change things later, we can. But for now, anything to get rid of the current law. |
