| Message | Arbeiderpartiet can support articles 1 4 and 5 but not the others I am afraid |
| Date | 18:40:46, October 07, 2013 CET | From | Pragmatikerne | To | Debating the Bennys economic freedom act |
| Message | How can you support child labour? I thought we were done with that in the 1800s. Does Arbeiderpartiet think its a good idea that small children that should be at school rather make clothes and soccer balls? |
| Date | 18:45:27, October 07, 2013 CET | From | Demokratisk Valgallianse | To | Debating the Bennys economic freedom act |
| Message | Demokratisk Valgallianse supports Article 1 (as long as the banking activities are regulated by the government), Article 2 and 4, but would like to decrease the company tax down to 20% in stead of 30% as proposed in this bill. |

| Message | Child labour as shown here does not include labour as P speak of - this is children under the age of 18 being able to do some work - working in a shop; doing a paper round; working in a cafe - to earn some pocket money. I find it absurd you would stand against such a thing! |
