| Date | 02:30:52, August 08, 2008 CET | From | Humanist Alliance | To | Debating the The Military Accountability Act |

| Date | 02:51:01, August 08, 2008 CET | From | Imperium Party | To | Debating the The Military Accountability Act |
| Message | The defence industries must be owned by the state and not private companies, that is what has to be taking to account, if we subsidise private industries they could be producing weapons for extremist groups. We then would he helping them. Therefore we will not support this bill unless you change the option to 'The state owns all defence industries.' |
