| Message | As we now allow full use of GM crops without regulation, it only stands to reason that there should equally be no additional regulation above other foods in supplying them to the consumer. |
| Date | 06:40:12, August 23, 2007 CET | From | Tukarali Communist Party | To | Debating the GM Food Labelling Repeal Act |
| Message | We disagree. We think that GM crops are a great thing to have, but if consumers want to be superstitious and avoid them, they have a right to. |
| Date | 17:46:35, August 23, 2007 CET | From | Greenish Liberal Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the GM Food Labelling Repeal Act |
| Message | We agree with the TCP. It's justified demand for a consumer to know what they're buying, especially things that concern food and their ingredients |
