| Message | Madam Speaker, We on the NLP benches approve of this Bill. 'Obscenity' laws provide no material benefit to the public good, and serve only to justify and promote a culture of sneering and belittlement of human affection. It is a relic of an attitude to sex now defunct in our society, and should be abolished. Sen. Jacob Quirrel Minister for Justice, NLP Justice Spokesperson |

| Message | Madam Speaker, While all people should be able to show their affection and love for each other, we do think public sex should not be condoned, as we believe some people with small children or of certain religions might be adversely affected by this. Sen. James Wynne SPA |
