| Message | Media outlets should move from state owned to private ownership, All educational and informative non-profit stations shall be subsidized. Video games are a way for the government to generate revenue through the extra jobs created and taxes collected. They will also keep youth occupied which may lead to lower instances of teen drug use and criminal mischief. |
| Date | 20:07:56, March 20, 2009 CET | From | Free Liberal Party | To | Debating the State owned media |
| Message | We can support this bill in full. The current state of affairs resembles a facism. |
