| Message | Private radio stations are necessary as well. That's the only way to ensure freedom of the press, and freedom of the press helps secure other freedoms. |

| Message | Well then we support, sounds like a good idea. And documentaries, I hope. About animals and such. You know, it wouldn't be so awful if the government sponsored a radio channel for music and light entertainment. Could be good culturally. |

| Message | This bill seems to imply that only that radio station will exist. We believe there is another option specifically saying that private radio stations will exist as well. What's wrong with having them? |
| Date | 14:24:15, June 22, 2007 CET | From | Teleurstelling Party | To | Debating the National Voice Act (Radio) |
| Message | No the this bill implies that there will be only one STATE radio station not to the exclusion of private enterprise. |
