| Message | M. Speaker, This bill is obscene. It is not even worth debating. Terry Hawthorne Prime Minister |
| Date | 16:05:58, December 15, 2015 CET | From | Traditional Alliance | To | Debating the Defence of Family Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, That the Prime Minister is refusing to defend family values is hardly surprising. What is surprising is the offhand manner in which he imperiously refuses to even engage on these issues. Is he too important to address the issues affecting his citizens? His government hasn't proposed any new legislation in over a year yet he is too busy to even debate this bill? What is he doing with his time? Perhaps the rumours about him and his "extra curricular" activities are true. John Smith TA Leader |
