| Message | Mr. Speaker, I urge my fellow representatives of all sides to vote down this legislation. It puts our nation in a situation where it does not have the tools to defend itself; we can not, and will not accept the Labour Party's destruction of our defenses. Patrick Fitzgerald, Chairman NBP |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The Labour Party is committed to the defence of this nation and find it disgusting that the NBP feel the need, in this day and age, to believe it necessary to retain WMD's. Such a barbaric stance, as put forward by the NBP, is not what this country needs. ~Richard Morton, Defence Spokesman |
