| Message | I dont think child labor should be forbidden, but subject to additional regulations |
| Date | 23:25:17, March 23, 2007 CET | From | Liberal Democratic Party | To | Debating the Child Support Act |
| Message | "Neither do I. However, I think there should be numerous restrictions that should be applied to protect children that are not yet adults so their rights won't be massacred like they potentially can be now. It is important to protect non-adults so they are not exploited." - L.D.P. Minority Leader Sherrod Brown |

| Message | "What you say is true Mr. Brown, thats why the party agreed to voted yes on this issue, just stating what we would of prefered, and maybe later we will propose a new bill changing this." -George O' Brian current Minister of Justice, U.D.J |

| Message | The JLSP agrees with the position of the UDJ. However, we vote against this mainly for practical reasons. If our children currently hold afterschool jobs, or paper rounds, etc, we don't want to force them to give them up until we have sorted out a better law. We do agree that extra regulations are needed though, mainly to protect children from excessive hours, and ensure their school and social lives do not suffer. |

| Message | (Seeing how the U.D.J. and the L.D.P. have the same stance on the issue....how do you agree with them and only them?) |

| Message | The JLSP does not agree soley with the UDJ - by extension you could say we agree with you also. However, we are not voting no because we disagree, but because this bill would inconvenience the children of our nation with legitimate employment. We feel we should wait until the new law is drawn up. We do not want to put children in a position where they have to go through the process of reapplying once this next law eventually comes into force. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
