ToDebating the The Guarantee of Freedom - No slavery to Local Governments
MessageDisagree with Articles 2, 6, 9 and 10.

Fireworks must be regulated; they contain explosives and could easily kill!
We must ensure that sustainable numbers of our wildlife are maintained; by not regulating hunting and fishing, large numbers of our wildlife could easily become extinct in a short period of time.
The poorest people will be effectively barred from the housing ladder, something we cannot allow to happen.
This is a local issue and should be dealt with by local Government.

MessageI take the greatest issue with Articles 1, 3, 9 and 10. Article 3 is especially dangerous. Imagine for a moment that our federal government falls into the hands of tyrants (and this is not outside the realm of possibility, as I believe some men within our Parliament fall into that category). A national police force becomes just another tool of oppression.

MessageBecause it's a local issue. I don't understand how this is the federal government's domain. Of course I would encourage local governments to govern with prudence, but small government begins with a federal government of limited jurisdiction.
