| Message | M. Speaker, Health and safety legislation protects workers from accidents in the workplace. It is vital that we keep our workers safe and support their families. This proposal by the TA will result in more workplace deaths and shattered families. I condemn yet another awful bill from Mr. Smith. Terry Hawthorne Prime Minister |

| Message | It is better that the national government has control over this, if the local governments don't want to go through the hassle of protecting it's workers, they won't do it. But if the national government tells them they have to, or be criminally charged for it, they have some incentives to go along with it Its just better for the workers as the law is now Stephen Lodamun PLUP President |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We would support reduction in red tape for this type of legislation. However, we currently do not support devolving this power to local government. That is a waste of resources for a problem that can be easily solved centrally. Jane Black CoS Acting Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I thank my colleagues in the other parties for their constructive contributions. We recognise that this bill does not have support at this time. As such we will move it quickly to a vote for the record, but in the expectation that it will not pass. TA Deputy Leader |
