| Date | 16:35:32, May 23, 2009 CET | From | Green Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Cultural Policy Reform Bill of 2760 |
| Message | Agree with 1, but strongly opposed to 2. |
| Date | 16:38:40, May 24, 2009 CET | From | People's Party - Republican Democrats | To | Debating the Cultural Policy Reform Bill of 2760 |
| Message | Why do the Greens oppose No. 2 so strongly? Organisations under this provision do not necessarily have to be private enterprises, but can also be social organisations of any kind, for example environmental groups that wish to establish a museum for natural history or feminists who wish to document the history of the women's movement. |

| Message | Yes, but the government should make some provision on its own as well. |
| Date | 07:47:29, May 26, 2009 CET | From | People's Party - Republican Democrats | To | Debating the Cultural Policy Reform Bill of 2760 |
| Message | Sure, but this another of those cases where the option that we'd prefer simply doesn't exist. So we see it as not keeping the state from making its own provisions. |
