| Message | Mr Speaker, The spending bill that the Military Party has proposed will guarantee a shutdown in the Government. 220 billion BEL cuts? Where is the sense of decency in this budget? Where does the money go? To the corrupt oligarchs to finance their useless big companies? This is what the Military Party wants to do. To bail out thousands of CEOs accused of scamming customers from being criminally investigated by the Banking Committee and the Justice Committee of the Beluzian Parliament. These CEOs should be put on death penalty for scamming more than 5 million Beluzians of their money by creating multiple accounts without their approval. How will our nation function if such a large amount of money is cut? Think about it. If we cut Environment and Tourism spending to 1 million BEL, our whole nation will be polluted by big, useless factories, as not enough money is spent to protect the environment. We cut Health, millions of Beluzians will lose quality healthcare and will receive healthcare from illegal private clinics, the worst in the nation. Cutting Foreign Affairs will cause us to close all our embassies worldwide and to withdraw from all worldwide organisations. Cutting Infrastructure and Transport spending will cause thousands of roads to be under maintained, causing many cars to fall through a big gap in the hole, killing many innocent lives. JUST THINK ABOUT IT WILL YOU? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? YOUR FINANCE SPOKESPERSON IS THE WORST AND HE SHOULD GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND BE BEATEN BY THE TEACHERS (standing ovation) ! In conclusion, I urge Parliament to reject this worthless budget and to vote on our common sense Socialist budget (standing ovation) Dr Johnson Henry Greg PhD, A.P.S, B.A., B.S, M.Phil.

| Message | Mr Speaker, Our politicians are very funny. We are known to exaggerate on everything and to tell jokes, even when debating on serious matters. This makes Parliament more lively (stops midway). Goodness me. I apologise. I really need new glasses. I am not seeing things the way you see them (laughter). You still remember that joke? OK. I thought that all of you were short sighted (laughter). Let’s carry on and stop talking about cute little babies (laughter). What I meant to say was let’s stop talking about useless stuff and talk about the current political situation in Beluzia, oh sorry, Darn Russia (laughter) oh sorry, Fart dug a hole (laughter and some Senators fall of their chairs). Are you alright back there? Your chair broke? You know what to do when your chair breaks? (shouts of bring a new chair in can be heard) No not that. You can call the chairman (laughter and Senators fall of their chair). This is what happens when I misplace my reading glasses. I read all the words incorrectly and end up saying things that do not make sense or inappropriate. Thank you very much, Mr Splutter (laughter). Sorry. I meant to say Mr Speaker. Thank you for your time and have a nice shoe (laughter). Sorry. Have a nice tea (laughter). Sorry again. Have a nice day and snore in Parliament. Goodness me. It is pointless carrying on like this. Have a nice day and have a nice pea (laughter). Thank you very much and thank you very much (laughter and a standing ovation can be seen). (Secretary General Beverly falls off podium and laughter can be heard). Goodness me. That was a very bad fall. You see, its the fall season (laughter). Everything will fall. I really need new glasses and shoes. These high heels are always making me collapse and having to go to ICU (laughter). Thank you again.

| Message | Mr Speaker, Even though I consider myself a fiscal conservative, I cannot vote for such drastic cuts in the budget. This is too much, too fast. A tax break isn't worth a government shutdown. Maurice Grimwald Minister for Internal Affairs |
