| Date | 23:23:00, August 22, 2005 CET | From | Independent Party of Aloria | To | Debating the Higher Education Funding |
| Message | Higher education isnt a right, like an education in your earlier years. Im not sure how this would benefit the country in the long run. What good would a college degree be? Average salary of a college degree might go down, increasing the need to go higher? |
