| Message | Under this bill you are suggesting advertisements for kinky sex toys durings childrens TV shows are you not? There needs to be regulation over when where and what can be advertised to the nation, without regulation there is no control. Because of this we the MPD must choose to oppose this bill. After all do we really want to allow crap adverts? |

| Message | We already have restrictions in place that prohibit showing sexually explicit material when children are likely to be watching television, which should extend to advertisements as well. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
