| Message | Nice to see the failure in leadership that is DA replicating our agenda. |
| Date | 08:58:12, June 29, 2017 CET | From | Demokratische Allianz | To | Debating the DA Omnibus |
| Message | How are we replicating your agenda? Some of the articles are the same because we believe in them, many more are vastly different from those you proposed in your numerous Omnibus packages. |
| Date | 09:00:30, June 29, 2017 CET | From | Labor Party | To | Debating the DA Omnibus |
| Message | Perhaps DA will one day maintain a national agenda that allows for independent thought. It took the Labor Party to deliver on the Brahms Accords, and now we see fit to end the accord and move forward without it. |
| Date | 09:11:00, June 29, 2017 CET | From | Demokratische Allianz | To | Debating the DA Omnibus |
| Message | It took Labor changing their vote on Brahms to get it passed. You voted for it on the first vote, against on the second, then for on the third attempt when it finally passed. Now you vote against? The DA formulated and introduced Brahms, and lobbied on its behalf domestically and internationally for years. Labor wants to claim credit because it passed our Senate when they held the Presidency? Brahms was a success long before Labor. |
