| Message | Mr. Speaker, This issue is simple. The Union Party, and many other Alorians, believe that anything within the boundaries of our nation must follow the laws of our nation. Whether it be people or any form of media, our law must be followed. On the other hand, there is the Labor Party. They have a consistent record of trying to exempt foreigners from our nation's law. In fact, they have proposed a bill to give permanent and unrestricted residency to anyone in the world. It's ridiculous for them to now think they can have the international media broadcast anything, at anytime, anywhere, in our nation. The Union Party believes strictly in the rule of law, and this will not be tolerated. Congresswoman Cathy Adeline (U-Kurmal) Union Party Whip |
