| Message | Anyone should be able to form a cabinet. This is discrimination against minorities, and no matter how we may disagree with them we must fight for their rights. We oppose. |

| Message | The idea of anyone should be able to form a cabinet is anarchism at the worst - The majority of people vote in a Government and they give that Government a mandate to govern - if they are not working to the voice of the people then they are voted out - to allow the minority to have more of a say than the majority is outrageous - The minority are still protected through opposition parties. One Nation supports a one vote one value first pass the post system. |

| Message | If this bill passes ONP, you'd have no say in what cabinet runs the executive branch in this nation. In essence, you'd be cutting your own throat. How stupid. |
