| Message | We believe local government should set smoking laws. |
| Date | 02:46:14, July 12, 2008 CET | From | Dranland First Party (CC) | To | Debating the Freedom Act |
| Message | We agree with the TCP - we would rather see local governments handle smoking laws in regards to public property, with smoking in private property being left to the discretion of the property owner. We certainly don't think this is cause for a universally binding federal law. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
