| Message | The right of individuals and companies to say (or express, or create) anything they want without fear of government censorship or reprisal is what we consider freedom of speech. This however is a direct attack on those values! Rudolf Stranz Chairperson VFD |

| Message | We also support freedom of speech. We believe in the individual and businesses right to say, express or create anything they wish without government censorship. But we also believe moderate regulation will protect the consumer from lies and fraud on the side of businesses. This is not censorship, this is protection. We cannot have a company, say, claiming to offer one set of rules in a contract and then in fact offer something else, manipulating the consumer and branding all advertising worthless. As such we would urge the KP to reconsider, as we expect they are the only reasonable right-wing party at the moment. As I said, moderate restrictions to protect against fraud. Nothing else.
