Message | We disagree. Who is the government to decide what the children do and do not need. That is a parental choice. |
Date | 00:40:36, July 17, 2008 CET | From | Dranland First Party (CC) | To | Debating the Federal Child Protection Act |
Message | We would prefer that these responsibilities be delegated to local governments. The Reform Party does not believe these issues to be of a national concern, and they are therefore no business of the federal government. Let each state deal with these issues in their own particular way, according to the issues within their own demographics. |

Message | We can certainly support this now in its revised version. We support in full. |

Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
