| Message | \The government should not help the poor. Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. This will evoke the laziness of a socialist society. |
| Date | 00:50:34, July 08, 2007 CET | From | Republic People Party | To | Debating the Reformist Act |
| Message | So we should let them live in bad conditions. What a logic is that? |
| Date | 13:21:55, July 08, 2007 CET | From | One Nation Party | To | Debating the Reformist Act |
| Message | The Constition Party's refusal to support people with low socio economic issues just shows their inability to show compassion. One Nation supports this bill - however in reference to article 5 - One Nation does not support - the Polce Department should be mandated by local government. Only Local Government has a real understanding of local issues - Not Federal!!! |
