| Message | Do we really want to wake up in the morning to experience our senses being assaulted by the stench of undisposed, unprocessed rubbish? Do we really want to turn the whole of Aldegar in a great big giant rubbish dump? Do we want an invasion of rats? Government HAS to take responsibility for the disposal of rubbish. Left to themselves, too many private individuals and companies would dump their rubbish, fail to dispose of it or dispose of it in an unhealthy way. The police would do their best to ensure compliance with the law, but it would use up valuable police time and they would not be able to stop the problem. This Act would turn Aldegar into a third world country, and would have calamitous consequences for public health and the environment. |

| Message | This bill would require the Private Sector to clean up after themselves as well. |

| Message | What I have trouble dealing with in this bill is that those who votes yes, such as Novy Smer, are infamous for proposing bills that would limit the private sector and instead nationalize everything. Fortunately for our Republic, most of those bills have been flatly denied, and we can continue with the capitalist practices that have elevated us to our current standards. However, my point is, that the irony is that they are supporting RETURNING the trash business to the private sector. Consequently, because we are always proponents of giving business to the private sector we will vote yes. |

| Message | In consideration of the arguements put forward by the Democratic Alliance, we shall change our vote on this issue to "NO". We would prefer the option of placing this in the realm of local government. This would allow local governments to contract out the disposal of waste to other bodies where they see it as appropriate in their own communities. We shall be proposing this. |

| Message | We thank Civil Liberties and Junker Parties for their crucial votes in this matter, and are pleased that it will pass. |
