| Message | A bill to increase individual freedoms, who cares if we wipe out the odd indiginous species. And who cares if people are attacked and killed by wild animals kept foolishly as pets, they're cute. I mean, it's their right to do so and the other person should've known better, obviously. There has to be a point where an individuals freedom has to be put on hold to protect the community at large, it's a shame the Liberal Party can't see that. |
