| Message | Raising children is very expensive, the costs are endless. While some families will be able to easily meet these financial demands some families will struggle. We think it is disgraceful that there is no form of child benefit for low income families and hope other parties will agree. |

| Message | The state already has the minimum wage set at enough to support a family of four. In addition, the state provides decent living standards for those who cannot affort it. Therefore, the Freedom Party finds this legislation redundant. |

| Message | Thats a very understanding attitude from the Capitalism Now! Party. We feel that the minimum wage is insufficient and lower income families would need a little extra help. |
