| Message | "The whole point of allowing a private sector of education is to give parents choice and to create competition. To meddle with the financial make up of the schools is to meddle with the entire market, the Liberty Party will not be supporting this bill." ~Susan Coper, Shadow Education and Culture Minister |

| Message | "I agree with my colleague from the Liberty Party. Why force financial policy down these schools' throats? We already have a well-funded public school sector, to elbow in on the charter schools is absurd." -Dame Irene Burgess, Directory Member |
