| Message | Agreed. |
| Date | 13:20:25, June 20, 2011 CET | From | Free Trade Party | To | Debating the Public Power Bill of the People |
| Message | A shocking proposal, investors will pull out of the market, cost the Government millions and electricity prices will spiral way out of control. This will lead to further Government expenditure in the form of subsidies and price floors further increasing unnecessary costs. Do not vote for higher electricity prices, keep it private. |

| Message | FTP. that is an EXTREME exaggeration of things, if you weren't serious it would be laughable. Private energy means cheaper prices? What will you be saying next? Pigs can fly? The tooth fairy is real? Private always means more expensive, no matter what your political beliefs are, its a fact. Take the real world for example, like here in Australia in my state of New South Wales, a Labour (government can you believe) has privatised NSW electricity. What happened next? You guessed it, bills went though to roof. |
