| Message | Mr. Speaker: In the private industry, those that have qualities sought by the consumer will receive their reward. They are not in need of subsidies. Television and radio are not essential services in the first place. (OOC: Fans of Lost may be deeply offended by this statement, but no apology is offered). I yield the floor. |
| Date | 05:01:12, January 16, 2009 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Public Information Act of 2696 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, It seems as though this bill will enable propaganda to be spread more effectively by the government, especially to children. It is an offense against liberty and is wasteful. We vote "no". I yield the floor. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
