| Message | Mr. Speaker, Due to looming elections, we will move this legislation forward without hearing from the AM RLP. We look forward to hopefully hearing a positive consent to this policy and if not, then to working with them in this field in the future. |
| Date | 23:35:46, February 18, 2013 CET | From | AM Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the LVP: B009 - Media Regulation Reform Act - 3442 |
| Message | We could possibly agree with article 1, but not on two. Those who do not want to be bothered by hard core pornography have an existing option - don't watch it. The people article two benefits are those who do not want other people to have that choice, and AM RLP will act in support of responsibility and choice. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
