| Message | Prime Minister Mervyn Bijai, Mr Speaker, this Act will allow the scourge of religion back into peoples lives and away from state interference. We do not want a religous influence in our society because religion is the source of all wars and leads to nothing except bitterness and anger. Whilst we can accept the viewpoint of the CLP etc about Civil Liberties, we do not want religion in Hutori. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, government cannot deny people the right to have faith. Whilst they can officially outlaw religion and the public demonstration of religion, it will always exist, unless the HNP plan to introduce "thought crime"? |
