| Message | No, this should be the case! Business and diplomatic relief should remain separate! Asking for trade rights just makes us look bad! |
| Date | 03:21:03, January 25, 2017 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Relief Reform Bill |
| Message | The CWA is abstaining on this issue. We consider it a pointless bill - if another nation is so poor it needs our aid, there's no economic advantage to leveraging that aid against trading rights. But we don't feel strongly enough about it, either way, to vote either for or against. |
