| Message | In response to the LDP comment: We fully appreciate the State should play a part in the protection of localities with historical and cultural significance, but we argue that the current proposal is adequate in this instance. The State would actively encourage the protection of scenery, as identified by the local government. In addition, the funding of private enterprise would be beneficial to the local economy and importantly, local pride. |

| Message | We certainly agree with the sentiment of this legislation, and we commend the PPR for this initiative - this having been said, we believe this is a duty for local governments. There's no inherent reason why the federal government should be responsible for the protection of heritage sites. We prefer the current legislation. |

| Message | We thank the Rutanian Heritage Party for their comments, but we would argue that the proposed legislation would give consistent protection of national treasures, rather than protection based on the regions ability or priorities. We believe a national minimum standard is just common-sense. |
| Date | 16:16:24, September 22, 2009 CET | From | Revolutionary Workers Party | To | Debating the The protection of Rutanian culture and heritage |
| Message | Does the PPR believe that local governments are somehow unable to identify what are important aspects of Rutanian culture, as opposed to centralised governments located often many miles away? |
| Date | 16:29:19, September 22, 2009 CET | From | People's Party of Rutania | To | Debating the The protection of Rutanian culture and heritage |
| Message | Could the RWP please clarify their last comment? We believe that only local government can identify these aspects of Rutanian culture. Our party clearly stated in the description that, "Assets of cultural, historical, scientific or artistic value are identified by the regions local goverment". |
| Date | 21:15:46, September 23, 2009 CET | From | Revolutionary Workers Party | To | Debating the The protection of Rutanian culture and heritage |
| Message | So this means the RPP wish to create a layer or bureaucracy: local governments defining the culture, and then sending plans to the centralised government to implement them! |
