| Message | Article 1 is slightly confusing to us, what is the difference? How hard is it for citizens to understand the difference between corn and yams? |
| Date | 13:27:40, May 18, 2009 CET | From | One Nation Conservative Party | To | Debating the Bill for the Transparency in the Composition of the Food Supply |
| Message | Ever more regulation from a supposedly de-centralising party. |
| Date | 14:22:26, May 18, 2009 CET | From | Federalist Party | To | Debating the Bill for the Transparency in the Composition of the Food Supply |
| Message | To the DMP: Under the current regime it is easy for a company to mislead and confuse using jargon and overly complicated language not so easily accessible to many. To the ONCP: Your spokespersons seem confused as to the difference between federalism and small-government extremism such as what your party advocates. However our membership wish to inform you that we have passed a motion by supermajority in praise of your stylish usage of the word repugnation in our debate on euthanasia. |
