| Message | Understand the reasoning behind a 90% cut in 'head of government'. Why a 20% decrease in Justice, and10% decrease in defense? |
| Date | 02:37:32, September 29, 2005 CET | From |  Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2117 |
| Message | the decrease in defence is based off of our limited form of military. As discussed, our main thrust in naval, with limited ground and aerial forces. The cut in justice is based purely on that we feel it brings it more in line of its needs. |
| Date | 19:15:23, September 29, 2005 CET | From | Malivia Democratic Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2117 |
| Message | Object to the cut in the justice budget, especially considering the PP supports an 'open door' policy on immigration, allowing ex-cons with mile long rap sheets to take up residence. But we'll use our 0 seats and vote for this. |

| Message | An increase in health and educations would be nice. |
| Date | 02:17:42, September 30, 2005 CET | From | LibCom Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2117 |
| Message | Yes, especially given the size of the cuts in other areas. |
| Date | 03:14:40, September 30, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2117 |
