| Message | Mr. Speaker, If we must keep the current system of an independent judiciary instead of a Presidential judiciary, I believe we should keep the current law on appeals. -- George Huddleson, GNRG Spokesman on Justice |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Many of Lodamese politicians, including myself, have been pressing for a fair trial of Paul Murphy-Spaak, who was imprisoned in Vanuku. When we do this, how will Terra treat us seriously when in our own country, prisoners cannot have their cases reviewed in a non-politicised way? Anton Rietveld Chairman of the Conservative Monarchist Alliance |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The current law notes a right to appeal. The right to appeal isn't banned. -- George Huddleson, GNRG Spokesman on Justice |
| Date | 15:18:05, October 19, 2014 CET | From | Grand Nationalist Fraction | To | Debating the Right to Appeal Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I can hardly believe that, in case someone would want to appeal, the Minister himself would decide on this. Little John Murphy-Spaak Justice expert for LNC |
| Date | 15:19:20, October 19, 2014 CET | From | Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Right to Appeal Act |
| Message | Exactly, Mr. Speaker. A minister can always pass on a decision to be made by a committee instead of doing it personally. -- George Huddleson, GNRG Spokesman on Justice |
| Date | 01:43:45, October 20, 2014 CET | From | Conservative Monarchist Alliance | To | Debating the Right to Appeal Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, If our justice system is to be fair and to be perceived internationally as fair, then citizens need to have the right to appeal without a politician being able to veto that process. Anton Rietveld Chairman of the Conservative Monarchist Alliance |
| Date | 14:23:09, October 20, 2014 CET | From | Social Libermuns Party | To | Debating the Right to Appeal Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The question being asked here is if we need the Minister to be the gate-keeper of appeal cases. The SLP do not think it necessary, but we also do not see how current law could be considered unfair. The right to appeal does exist. ~ Rowan Argall SLP Leader |
| Date | 14:26:11, October 20, 2014 CET | From | Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Right to Appeal Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Another question to be asked here is the CMA's agenda. This may just be a way of undermining anything that exists so that they can justify the installation of their Hosian monarchy. -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG |
| Date | 14:59:46, October 20, 2014 CET | From | Conservative Monarchist Alliance | To | Debating the Right to Appeal Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The GNRG are paranoid almost to the point of insanity. This is precisely why responsible members of this chamber should strive to keep them out of power. They are so fearful of any change whatsoever that they cannot be trusted to treat their political opponents fairly. Anton Rietveld Chairman of the Conservative Monarchist Alliance |
| Date | 16:38:03, October 20, 2014 CET | From | Federal Liberal Congress | To | Debating the Right to Appeal Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We have full confidence in the Minister of Justice and his department to make these decisions. -- Francis Jones President |
