| Message | The NZP feels that leaving the development of nurseries to the private sector would be the more reasonable thing to do at the moment, if the government were to maintain a system of nurseries then it would add more strain to the education budget, although we would not be against adding regulations to the private sector. |
| Date | 03:48:33, March 22, 2008 CET | From | Federal Republican Party | To | Debating the Early Education Act of 2549 |
| Message | Respectfully, It is the view of the Federal Republican League that the federal government ought clear the snow from the roads; they marginally do this effectively. Allowing the market to undertake this process creates jobs, competition and innovation in techniques to enable the children of Solentia a curve on others. Signed, Administer Edward 'Tipp' Wagner |
| Date | 07:16:47, March 22, 2008 CET | From | Solentian Populist Party | To | Debating the Early Education Act of 2549 |
| Message | The United Democrat Party proposes this compromise: Article 1: The early education system shall remain private, but the government will provide funding to cover the costs of enrollment for poor families. Article 2: To help cover the cost of Article 1, we propose a very modest tax increase on luxury items. Demand is up, and we believe that a modest increase from 3 to 4% would provide all of the necessary funding for this measure. We urge other parties to join with us to keep the early education system private, but to make it possible for poorer families to enroll their children. Director of Education and Culture, Roberta Burke |
