| Message | Mr Speaker, Why do the DAF want to cut education? Do they not care about the young? We do not need to make budget cut-backs. This just makes it harder for poor families to get their children to university. Why does the DAF love spitting into the faces of people who are already down so much?

| Message | Speaker, We supported a bill which supported covering the costs of one's tuition for those with a low-income. The PP voted no. The bill failed. Who is spitting in the face of the poor here? Mark Hagen |

I ask all parties to think about our economy in the long term! We cannot afford to keep spending so much money! Mark Hagen |

| Message | Speaker, It is not about having a deficit: It is about freeing up money in order to spend it on what's important in this time and age of economic hardship. We want to make sure that we won't have a deficit in the future either when true disaster may hit us. Frank Hagen |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We won't have a deficit. We're not increasing spending without accounting for it. Tirza Sommer Minister of Education and Culture |
