| Message | We cannot support any of these articles so we will vote no if this bill is taken to voting. We believe that a free media is key to a vibrant and proud democracy such as ours. There are already libel laws in place to prosecute those who are guilty of reckless slander. Let us not go further as to restrict the media. |

| Message | Honestly we do not understand your position LA. We are not intended to propose censorship...on the contrary we want to defend democracy. Yes, false information are too dangerous for democracy. False information could be use to maipulate (even heavily) public opinion....in the past this had generated war!!!! |

| Message | We would rather this be changed to "Local governments decide upon the funding policy."; different areas depend on public transport in different amounts and allowing the Local governments a bigger responsibility releases the burden on the Assembly. So we agree this should be changed but we must vote no purely because this is not the best way of changing it in our opinion. |
