| Message | No, that is not a good compromise. There is not good compromise. The only acceptable law is the proposed. Anything less is discriminatory and wrong. |

| Message | Far be it from me to agree with the TPP but what he says is true. They can be in the military with the current law. As such, opposed. |
| Date | 22:21:30, March 11, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Military (Homosexuality) Amendment Act |
| Message | No, they have to act like they're someone else. A person can say they're heterosexual without restraint, but the moment they say they're homosexual, they get the boot. That is wrong. |

| Message | JUP? Its the military. Let the military deal with it. |
| Date | 23:08:04, March 12, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Military (Homosexuality) Amendment Act |
| Message | But the military is not being allowed to deal with it. There is statutory intervention any way we go. |

| Message | NUA, you get the 'Wagging finger of Shame' award. Oh yes, we have to protect the best trained, best fit, strongest people in our nation from being violated. They are so helpless, and it makes it worse with them 'touchy-feely' gays around. That's how people who oppose this sound to me. |
