| Message | Madam Speaker, This is needless authoritarianism. People may decide if they wish to agree to work in a environment where smoking takes place, the people do not need nanny state 'protection' in this way. Sen. Mary Billingdon Internal Affairs Spokesperson, New Liberal Party |

| Message | As a reply to what Sen. Billingdon said in the Federal Senate I would like to say that, unlike some of her backers, the common people of Beluzia do not have the luxury to pick and choose where they want to work. This bill provides enough opportunity for people to smoke in many locations without problem, but when they are at work they will have to step outside, which is not too much too ask. The majority who doesn't smoke should not be affected by the minority that does. Luuk Voncken Party Leader SPA |
