| Message | Why should we remove the child's right to choose whether or not they want to work or go into schooling, this reduction in choices is ultimately bad for the people of Rutania. |
| Date | 08:17:10, March 19, 2008 CET | From | Conservative and Morality Party | To | Debating the Child Labour Prohibition Act |
| Message | It is about time that this barbaric practice was outlawed, for the preservation of social decency if nothing else. Valérie Molyneux - Shadow Minister for Trade and Industry - PCP |

| Message | The children cannot choose for themselves, if they want to work or go to school, they are very easy becoming subject to manipulation of adults. |
| Date | 11:47:52, March 20, 2008 CET | From | Fair and Equal World Party | To | Debating the Child Labour Prohibition Act |
| Message | We would be fine with allowing child labor, as long as it is subject to many, many more restrictions, laws, and protections for the children than adult labor. As our current law does not provide those protections, given a choice between it and the proposed law, we choose the latter. |

| Message | Well, if we want this law to pass, then the Freedom Party has to vote for it.. |
