| Message | Mr Speaker This bill is ironically named "Religious Freedom" yet it prohibits religious freedom, in the form of banning religious clothing or symbols in public. This curbs civil liberties and the freedom of expression. As such we will oppose this bill. However we do back banning teacher-lead prayers in all schools. |
| Date | 18:59:54, March 06, 2016 CET | From | Social Democratic | To | Debating the Religous Freedom Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, We concur with the Liberal Socialist Party. This sort of attack on the faith of millions of our citizens has no place in this chamber. |
| Date | 20:36:59, March 07, 2016 CET | From | National Fascist Party | To | Debating the Religous Freedom Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, This is an attack on the religious people of our country. As a religious person myself, I will not stand for this. |
