Message | Seriously, what do increasing privacy protection and banning sexual explicit material have to do with each other? Protecting privacy, YES, restricting sexual freedom, NEVER. We deeply suggest the People's Democratic Party to think twice or to allow some debate before proposing such mixed proposals. I'm sure they would get many more of them passed. - Robin Thorne, Minister of Internal Affairs and SLP Secretary General |
Date | 19:32:13, February 09, 2017 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Media Reform Bill |
Message | Is the People's Democratic Party deliberately trying to create legislation that cannot be supported? We in the CWA are not the only party to have noticed this - it seems that these bills are crafted with two almost opposing considerations. We can't tell how this is an advantage. |

This is in order to give other players a chance to query the proposed changes, if they wish to do so.
