| Message | We shall not support this as it is a restriction of media freedom. Also many people will abuse such a law and whistleblowers could be at harm. Plus there are already libel laws whereby individuals may sue over falsehoods printed on them. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
