| Message | Mr Speaker, We find this bill atrocious! What is wrong with people expressing what religion they are? It is not like it affects us in anyway! As it stands we give people a choice and that is how we believe it should stand! Max Gerster Labour Leader |

| Message | It appears there was some confusion on our stance on this bill. We do not support this bill there was either a misprint or a mistake on where our party stands. Our vote should have been no from the begining. |

| Random quote: "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson |
