| Message | Because of the large nature of the bill, and it's rather incoherent nature, we cannot in good conscience support this bill. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, While the Red Union strongly disputes that this bill is incoherent, all proposals crucial to strengthening the Government's recognition of the dignity of Alorians, it does concede that the bill has it stands, does cover a broad range of societal reforms. We will therefore be splitting the bill up. This bill will be focussed on affirming the dignity of Alorians in 'social' issues. |
