| Message | Wouldn't this mean local governments, if they wanted to, could choose not to have a fire service? |

| Message | Yes, but then exactly how would the voters in that province react to their elected officials acting in such a careless manner? A little faith in the ability of people to oversee their own affairs is necessary unless we want the state pre-chewing people's food for them as well, lest they choose not to chew it properly themselves. |
| Date | 01:44:26, August 25, 2005 CET | From | LibCom Party | To | Debating the Fire Department Funding |
| Message | Again, we'd much rather this was centrally funded, but we'll vote in favour as this is an improvement on the status quo. |
