| Message | 1/3) Absolutely not. Trusting the future of our children to some organization trying to make a profit would be the worst policy change we could do on this matter. Local government, however, are acceptable. 2/4) Perfectly fine. |

| Message | There are far too many guns amongst our population, which makes our society more dangerous and undermines the role of the police. On balance this is a sensible Bill. However, we would rather Article 3 on parenting qualifications was removed. General Abu Rahman (Chairman of the Military Veterans Association) |
