| Message | Mr. Speaker, It seems that the Labor Party is not giving up on giving members of the government special privileges. The Union Party vehemently supports equality and accountability, yet those on the left continue to advocate for a schism between people and state. This bill would allow Congressmen and Congresswoman to go free even if they commit a crime. This is not the way to move forward, and we will oppose this bill. Congresswoman Cathy Adeline (U-Kurmal) Union Party Whip |
