| Message | Mr. Speaker, It appears my predictions for leftist ambitions are partially true. When you give them an inch, they take an ell. Feeling emboldened by their fleeting victory, they are pushing for radical policies that defy the laws of economics. The people will remember these votes come election time. I yield. The Rt Hon. Margaret Patterson MD Leader of the HDU Minister of Education and Culture |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, It should be noted these are not Government bills, at least, not ones which we have an agreement on. I warn the Right Honorable Minister of Education to relax. These bills are understood not to be passed, at least the LWP's manifesto. It is no expression of the Government or our Union's active policy in practice. I yield, Emma Genn Imperial Prime Minister |
