| Message | These are small things like pistols. Parties have expressed that they don't want Tukarali weapons to be used against Tukarali citizens, but if another country intends to go to war with us armed only with our pistols, well, it won't Tukarali soldiers being shot. No, all this is doing is introducing unnecessary regulation where there is no need. |

| Message | What JUP is proposing in education is indeed very very bad. As was Tort and Medical. You should see his stances when it comes to police. He's no scapegoat by any stretches. What he proposes is bad. |

| Date | 23:54:00, February 27, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Trade (Arms) Amendment Act |
| Message | Consistent. Standardised testing is consistent with human rights. Putting creativity first is consistent with human rights. Human rights are a non-issue in that matter. |
