| Message | We support this. |
| Date | 05:37:57, September 02, 2005 CET | From | Federal Technocrats | To | Debating the Defense Act |
| Message | Opposed. The state cannot have control over such a destructive industry, it would lead to far to great state control and is a major aspect of a police state. |
| Date | 06:20:02, September 02, 2005 CET | From | United Military Party | To | Debating the Defense Act |
| Message | *Agreed with FT* |
| Date | 10:59:01, September 02, 2005 CET | From | Militant Labour Party | To | Debating the Defense Act |
| Message | The Federal Technocrats don't seem to mind about police states when they give the police the mandate to disperse protestors who they deem to be potential trouble-makers. |

| Message | If the police see a crowd that seems to be making molotov cocktails, or that is slowly forming into a riot, would you rather not have the police fire a few tear gas rounds into the crowd instead of them blowing something up? |
| Date | 14:09:29, September 09, 2005 CET | From |  First Socialist Party | To | Debating the Defense Act |
| Message | We actually agree with the MLP on this. We cannot allow the defense of our nation to be held in any hands but the governments. |

| Message | OOC: LOL I forgot that *I* was the one who proposed this... anyway, I still agree :p |
| Date | 14:57:25, September 09, 2005 CET | From | Militant Labour Party | To | Debating the Defense Act |
| Message | Put it to a vote. We will support this, and use our massive support in working class communities to go out and explain to ordinary workers why this legislation is necessary and should be supported. |
| Date | 23:15:37, September 11, 2005 CET | From | Party of the People | To | Debating the Defense Act |
| Message | Although this is passing, we see it as a bad idea. The ideal situation would be to have publically owned defense contractors but to allow private ones to compete. |
