| Message | Where is the freedom here? The freedom for Lukaronians to not have access to free-reading, whilst Sorbanikans enjoy such privileges? |

| Message | What are you talking about, DWP??? This bill does NOT abolish libraries but only suspends the MANAGEMENT of them to local and regional governments. I mean, the National Government is far too BUSY to have to deal with managing libraries. That is best left to the PEOPLE!!! |

| Message | [OOC] there was a TYPO in the word "people" at the end; it should have been "LOCAL Government" |

| Message | The problem with devolution of libraries... is that some local councils may not consider them worthwhile - or may have different ideas about what a library should do. The ability of The People to educate themselves, should never be hostage to regional capriciousness. |
