| Message | This bill and its predecessor are creating a recipe for a general strike - which will be a disaster for your government and our country. For instance, the many thousands who will lose their jobs when you nationalise the energy companies may walk out - followed by pretty much anyone who sympathises, which is a heck of a lot of people. Then what will you do? Valerie Gifford Shadow Trade and Industry Secretary |

| Message | That is the negligent view of the government, is it? When everyone goes out on general strike - thus crippling this country - cheer them on? The lack of responsibility being shown in public office is breathtaking, we will be seeking legal advice over that statement. Valerie Gifford, Shadow Trade and Industry Secretary |

| Message | I personally don't see why this proposal is needed, but many party members are for this bill. So, my party's governing body, the GDB, recently had a vote on whether to support this proposal: 13 - AGAINST 12 - FOR As a result, the Greens have decided to vote against this decisive issue.
