| Message | A hint, this may pass, although we will vote no because there are a number of article we disagree with, if this were 3 or 4 different Bills we would probably vote for most of them. It's much easier to pass a small Bill with only a few proposals than a large bill with 7. |
| Date | 02:06:27, July 02, 2007 CET | From | Kazulian Labour Party | To | Debating the general reform |
| Message | We too agree with almost all of these proposals, but will be abstaining. |
