| Message | Mr. Speaker, how can we justify unregulated international media, while imposing regulations on our own. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, there are currently twelve states on Terra that permit child pornography. This law may be interpreted to permit foreign child pornography, as long as domestic production remains legal, since they are indeed "foreign media." |

| Message | Mr Speaker, the NSP are attempting to smear the CLP. They know full well that such a proposal is not the intention of the CLP, and should apologise for suggesting so. Our prime concern is with ensuring that there will always be a free and open source of high-quality news should government ever interfere with and pressurise our own media outlets. |
