| Message | This is absolutely hilarious! Its more anarchist than libertarian in any case. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, the contribution of the Labour Party to this place has thus far been less than noteworthy. Perhaps they might like to debate properly the policies being proposed. Furthermore, Mr Speaker, one bill does not define an entire philosophy. Were we anarchist, we would propose that there was absolutely no control at all, including no police force, army, or Parliament. Given that we do not favour that, then we can hardly be called anarchist. |

| Message | Prime Minister Mervyn Bijai, Mr Speaker, clearly the Labour Party have no regards as to how things work in this nation. Instead of arguing their point they simply ridicule it! Clearly this political party is a complete joke. We echo the calls of the CLP as regards the Labour party. As for the policy, Mr Speaker we feel that there needs to be some form of regulation on these products. We do not want prohibition but we also do not want anyone being able to irreprably damage their health |
