| Message | Rt Hon Cheryl Macintosh MP, Prime Minister: Mr Speaker, is the party opposite really telling me that almost all of the Cabinet should resign? Just what world is he living in?! |

| Message | Rt Hon Duke McCullum MP, HNP Frontbencher, Mr Speaker, this is now a HNP belief. If it conflicts with the CLP having lots of women in the Cabinet then too bad. They will be allowed to serve out their terms until the next election and then they must step down! Mr Speaker, may i point out it also applies to HNP women MP's. Admittedly we do not have as many as the CLP but thats not the issue. Mr Speaker, we cannot make an exception for women working in Parliament. We believe all women should not work and we cannot allow a small percentage to continue working. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, this is a clear and blatant attack on the CLP. The opposition know full well that 74% of CLP MPs are women - they wish to destroy the CLP through this backward legislation. Mr Speaker, they're scared! For they know just how powerful CLP women are and always have been. Considering how closely the gentleman worked with a woman in power, we are shocked by his stance. But, Mr Speaker, we are not surprised. He should have refused to serve alongside their female Prime Minister if he believed so strongly that women should not work. |

| Message | Rt Hon Duke McCullum MP, HNP Frontbencher, Mr Speaker, its no secret we wish to destroy the CLP but that is not the motivation behind this Bill. Women have an important part to play in Hutorian society but we believe that women working doesnt. This Bill is a social Bill rather than a politically motivated Bill. Mr Speaker, we believe the CLP are simply bitter, we knew a large percent of the Cabinet are women and this is more a coincidence than a planned attack. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, the party opposite always call us "bitter". It is always so much more than bitter - it is anger and disgust. Mr Speaker, they are discriminating against half the population. |
