| Message | Are you saying you would prefer all housing should be privately owned? That that is the proposal you would like? We feel that would leave a great many of the population with no or inadequate housing. |

| Message | We would be willing to compromise, but that is the baseline for us, the starting point. Make an offer. |
| Date | 19:17:38, March 23, 2009 CET | From | Social Federalist Party | To | Debating the State Housing Bill |
| Message | Public/council housing is a laudable idea but generally has a bad track record in the real world; handing over control to the national government would only exacerbate the problem by disconnecting it from local politics. The SDP opposes this change. |
