| Message | We do not support the majority of this bill. It removes the government from its responsibilities to provide infrastructure and power to its citizens. Also we would not encourage Nuclear Energy given how unstable and unsafe it is. This is a free marketeers fantasy and is wholly irresponsible. Karen DeGrassi President of the SDP |

| Message | We cannot support the majority of this bill. We agree that a partnership with the private sector is good for some areas, but the essentials of the infrastructure need to be provided by the state. Lynnete Alpha President of the SLP |

| Message | While we do lean Libertarian,we feel that the Private Sector should not be given so much power over our infrastructure and our airports. Also we would like to keep the decision to use Nuclear Power up to local governments. We would support Article 2 however. Kacey Freed President of the DCP. |

| Message | And what has to do with nuclear issues I |
| Date | 12:42:41, September 14, 2016 CET | From | Union of Centrists | To | Debating the Infrastructure |
| Message | --- believe we must ban nuclear weapons.However due to the fact that nuclear energy is a renewable one we have to promote it (I believe this decision cannot be taken from a single local council) |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Article 1 will remove the states ability to offer cheap energy to lower income families. Also the profits and revenues from our national Energy companies can be used for research purposes to develop renewable energy sources that are stable and safe. Article 2 will encourage the development of unstable energy sources which is vulnerable to storms, earthquakes, tsunamis etc. This puts lives in danger. Whilst Nuclear energy is renewable it isnt safe. Article 3 is the only article the SDP will support. Duwie Norfolk Minister for Environment & Tourism Member of Parliament for SDP |
