| Message | "The surplus does serve to restore the massive trust fund that operated before the Labor Party squandered it by selling our country to foreigners. . . but, except for cuts in Trade and Industry, and dramatic cuts in Defense, this is not a bad budget. I think, if Finance is not cut so badly, we may support this. Keymon is a financial capital of the world." -- Kenner Giles |
| Date | 00:00:06, September 30, 2007 CET | From | Real Labour Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of December 2462 |
| Message | "If we were to increase (from the proposed) finance spending to 35 million, decreased Internal affairs by 5 million, decreased education by 15 million and infrastructure and transport by 10 million would the Christian Nationalists support?" - Dr. Gavin Kleen, Finance Minister |
| Date | 00:48:27, September 30, 2007 CET | From | Christian Democrats | To | Debating the Budget proposal of December 2462 |
| Message | "End the cuts to internal affairs (which covers law enforcement) and yes. If you wish to preserve this discussion, we would be willing to vote in favor of this budget and then vote in favor of the next budget, provided the next budget corrected the problems we identified." -- Kenner Giles |
| Date | 12:14:36, September 30, 2007 CET | From | Democratic Republican Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of December 2462 |
| Message | "The DRP can support an increase of the budget by 30 million. Money isn't just magically conjured; that is why the state must turn a profit." DRP Leader Christopher Schultz |
| Date | 14:07:36, September 30, 2007 CET | From | Real Labour Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of December 2462 |
| Message | "The "cut" to internal affairs is only a cut to the proposed budget for internal affairs. In other words internal affairs would remain at 10 million rather than increasing to 15 million. We are happy to take up the Christian National's offer" - Dr. Gavin Kleen, Finance Minister |
| Date | 16:31:11, September 30, 2007 CET | From | Christian Democrats | To | Debating the Budget proposal of December 2462 |
