| Message | To allow any religion to establish any kind of school without any regulation is particularly foolish. Imagine the construction of a synagogue in a devout Anglican community. There would be much discord and resentment. This bill fails to appreciate community relations and undermines the very important role that has performed by the Church of Pontesi within the realm for the past few hundred years. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
