| Message | This makes sense. It also makes it safer for the women and men involved. If they were allowed to meet in more public places we could also reduce crime. |
| Date | not recorded | From | People's Party | To | Debating the Prostitution Regulation Act |
| Message | Freedom cannot mean a race to the bottom. We need standards in society to promote ethical and valuable behaviour. When some people are allowed to lower the bar, others will follow. This is exactly what this legislation will accomplish. By promoting prostituition, you will make it normal and more acceptable, without questioning whether this is something we want to promote in the first place. |

| Message | Which is why you impose strict government regulations. Even if it is illegal, those in times of desperate need will turn to the black market to fulfill their needs, whether in the form of consumer goods or services. So, rather than trying to fight it, we should see it as a tax opportunity and treat it like any other profession, with a set of coded laws and standards. |

| Message | Well it's not imposssible to eliminate. If we had more police on the job, we could remove more women from the street. |

| Message | But, how will the police isolat the prostitutte from the whores who just like acting like it even if they don't solicit any forms of sexual services, or what if they are with a companion and they are talking of subject matter related to it? Are the police going to apprehend these women because they can? This will give the police too much extra authority, limiting the rights of women. |

| Message | You can't arrest anyone for speech of any sort. I don't think anyone stand on tthe street for a fun time...so its unlikely that tehre are going to be many accidents. However, the police will need some sort of special training. |

| Message | Yes yes yes, I have to agree with the proposal. Legal or not, people will do it, so we should regulate it. |
| Date | not recorded | From | National Centrist Party | To | Debating the Prostitution Regulation Act |
| Message | I don't like your reasoning. We're regulating it to preserve the health of our citizens, not just for the sake of regulation itself. |
