| Message | We don't support this bill on account that it doesn't take into account regional or cultural differences, instead forcing national standards onto all local government regions which is wrong. |

| Message | This are not cultural differences, this is just the promotion of (more) direct democracy. |

| Message | Not necessarily, institutions in some regional councils in place, for instance, could already have much more directly democratic systems of election and decision making in place. This simply places a national method in an essentially federalised state. |
