| Message | The ID card is for the safety of the public and for easy identification, it doesn't "own" it citizens in anyway and we believe that the Freedom Party's lie is an outrage to this parliament. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The fact that the people are COERCED into having an ID card shows that the gov't has a certain amount of control over them. Control is part-in-parcel of the definition of ownership. Ergo, in the current regime, the gov't pretends some power of ownership over the people. Under the regime proposed by the Freedom Party, if people feel that they will be safer with the ID card, they are free to get it. If they do not, they are not forced to do so. We wonder why the Democratic Party wishes to keep this regime of coercive control over the people. Voluntaryism is the basic building block of a successful society. Yield. |

| Message | The people's safety is necessary to maintain a successful nation and ID card is one of our measure to protect them from crime. We don't understand how the simple thing such as ID card is somehow view as "ownership" of the government over the people. The government are in no way putting tag or ownership on them and this is only a measure to identify the citizen from the group of terrorist that's undermining our great Empire. The Freedom Party speak much, but with little sense at all. And we're not aware of any Democratic party as we are the Democrat Party. Voluntarism doesn't build a successful society, it's a sense of duty to the community that build a successful society. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Your collectivist nonsense has no effect on us. It is obvious that you desire to rule by force. There is no need to force everyone to be cattle in your collectivist pen. FORCED use of ID cards will only result in the robbery of other freedoms of the people. There is no need for the federal government to have this information about the people. Yield. |

| Message | We have few objections to the reduction proposed in this scheme, it would seem it would save a great deal of monies. |

| Message | We are happy to be in agreement with the One Nation Conservative Party and hope that we might be able to find other shared interests. |
