| Message | The RRP agrees with none of these proposals, and strongly believes that electorate will not either. We propose that this bill is thrown out. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Why cant the parties on the right try and make some sort of effort to support the social needs of the population. We are a country that has thrived under a capitalist government, nobody is denying that fact. But we should spend more of our money on supporting the public. For that reason i will continue to debate this and try and strike a better deal for the public. |

| Message | The RLP cannot support this measure,as we feel it is the job of the individual to determine such things, and the existance of a surplus says we need to cut taxes some more. |
| Date | 10:23:04, December 23, 2011 CET | From | National Communist Party | To | Debating the Better Social Policy |
| Message | So it is far more important for the government to use extra funding to cut taxes of the rich and make the poor become poorer? This is just absolutely ridiculous!. Surpluses should be used for the benefit of the nationl infrastructure and services. |
| Date | 05:37:53, December 24, 2011 CET | From | Reasonable Reforms Party | To | Debating the Better Social Policy |
| Message | The RRP will support proposals 3 and 4 if the first two are removed. |
| Date | 00:47:33, December 26, 2011 CET | From | National Communist Party | To | Debating the Better Social Policy |
