| Message | Its untrue that nationalising TOC will allow the public more options, it will force many small private TOC's out of business, thus leaving people with less options. Also, nationalisation takes funding, that is much better spent on things such as Defence and Education. This is unnecessary, takes away people's choice and will cost the governement a chunk out of its budget. Andrew Ingrid Finance Minister DCP |

| Message | Agreed, the potential loss of jobs alone is a major factor in voting No to this. And the amount of money the Government would then have to find from its budget to pay for the nationalisation would leave us in a right old mess! Casper Blowhart, Trade and Industry Minister |
