| Message | Mr Speaker, We vigorously oppose this unfair, elitist proposal. No one should be above the law, absolutely no one; it is the hypothetical diplomat themselves that are damaging foreign relations, by committing a crime in our nation, not our government by refusing to punish them accordingly! We reject this bill and wish to see the rest of the legislature do the same. Hannes Ellmenreich, FD Leader |
