| Message | Are the professionals of Likatonia really concerned about industrial hemp legislation? |
| Date | 23:16:56, March 28, 2008 CET | From | Democratic National Party | To | Debating the CLP Manifesto |
| Message | No. But they're concerned about other things. Like tax on luxury goods being reduced. Allowing them to buy high carbon emission cars to impress their neighbours etc. |
| Date | 12:43:32, March 29, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the CLP Manifesto |
| Message | So the CLP are padding bills with porkbarrel spending then? This is a pile of manure. Privatisation and deregulation are still not the same thing, no matter how many times the CLP pretends. Allowing businesses to use unlimited and unregulated pesticides is not 'privatisation'. |
