Message | If we as a nation support freedom of speach, than we must allow even the most unpopular ideas to be expressed anywhere, even in churches. Truth will prevail, as it alone can stand up to the facts. |

Message | But for the state to discriminate in favour of one religion when Likatonia has such a wide, diverse representation of world faiths would be bias on the part of the government. We cannot agree to such laws. |

Message | we feel that the state should continue to assert its anti-terrorist credentials by tackling those who call for our citizens to be murdered. |

Message | The AAP cannot vote in favour of any legislation which would unite church and state. It is fundamental to democracy, that the individual has freedom to express him/herself. To promote one religion over others, is to impose a preference, and to limit freedom of expression. |
