| Message | The Feds will support this. |
| Date | 16:32:24, December 05, 2005 CET | From | Plinio's United Followers | To | Debating the Compulsory Education Act |
| Message | We disagree. There are technical occupations that are only learned through practice. |
| Date | 17:14:00, December 05, 2005 CET | From | National Thomasian Party | To | Debating the Compulsory Education Act |
| Message | We disagree as we have said before. Up to 16 we can teach people the basics. Some will prefer to go on and gain practical skills in work rather than gain acedemic skills in full time education. |
| Date | 17:45:29, December 05, 2005 CET | From | Country Labor Party | To | Debating the Compulsory Education Act |
| Message | We would rather those that who clearly are not meant to go to university should go to a vocational-technical school instead, rather than being let out into the workplace with NO technical skills at age 16. |
| Date | 18:02:25, December 05, 2005 CET | From | Left Socialist Party | To | Debating the Compulsory Education Act |
| Message | We agree, we think we must give all people a serious general education, even those who later will have a technical occupation |
| Date | 21:16:23, December 05, 2005 CET | From | National Thomasian Party | To | Debating the Compulsory Education Act |
| Message | right the problem we have is that those going into vocational-technical schools will generally be in the working class (hate to generalize but it's true) so may have trouble paying back government education loans later on. This is an issue we are willing to be flexible on. If the government maintained some free vocational schools and colleges we would support the raising to the age of 18. |
| Date | 20:00:05, December 06, 2005 CET | From | Country Labor Party | To | Debating the Compulsory Education Act |
| Message | We have added an article which we believe encourages regional governments to establish things like vocational-technical schools for those students who will not be going on to university. |
