| Message | I support a strong military but this is a dangerous expansion. We can't allow hostile countries to purchase arms, and thus must be a case by case basis. Nobody should be forced to serve in the military. No point in changing land mine policy, the Army will likely allow them, but either way it's just not our responsibility. An unrestricted intelligence agency is a serious threat to innocent people and cannot be allowed. |

| Message | We recognise your position regarding the other two proposals, however I must stress the importance of an unrestricted intelligence agency as a form of deterrence. Only nine nations in Terra, one of them being us, do not allow for all covert operations to take place in other nations under domestic law. It is dangerous for our people for us not to strike back against other nations who wish to do harm to us. |

| Message | Just because other nations have unrestricted intelligence means that we should risk innocent lives by giving our government that much power? If the agency requires an advanced operation they should get the approval of their respective Department Minister or the Senate, it's not set in stone how they would do that. |
