| Message | Mr Speaker, Do the Phillipsian Party believe we have an endless pot of taxpayers' money to be wasting on their personal vanity projects. What they are proposing here would leave the government faced with an uncontrollable bill for subsidising every single 'artist' in Dranland, without even any regard for checking what these people were producing was actually 'art'. What is to stop someone from calling themselves an artist just to benefit from unlimited taxpayer-funded subsidies? Under this proposal, there would be absolutely nothing to stop this from happening. Maria Gonzales MP PP Deputy Leader |
