| Message | We feel this is wrong on every level. |
| Date | 16:22:22, November 28, 2015 CET | From | Bailonese Council Communist Party (BCCP) | To | Debating the Management of Law and Order Act |
| Message | We would then urge to petition your local government concerning this. However, would you agree to this act if article 1 and 3 were removed? This is a hypothetical question, if the NSWP agrees to all articles above, we will not make a compromise. |
| Date | 03:01:42, November 29, 2015 CET | From | Progressive Coalition | To | Debating the Management of Law and Order Act |
| Message | The Progressive Coalition will vehemently oppose this bill. We do not understand why anyone would wish to decrease the power of the police. This bill goes too far in the name of federalism and is quite frankly extremely irresponsible. This bill would put States rights above the safety of our own citizens. |
| Date | 17:03:25, November 29, 2015 CET | From | Bailonese Council Communist Party (BCCP) | To | Debating the Management of Law and Order Act |
| Message | To be fair, local governments are voted in by the locales they serve. It only makes sense for those people to determine their own rights. |
