| Message | This bill protects the right of every man, woman and child to choose their own religion and display it proudly. If I wish to wear a cross in this assembly, or an ahmadi wishes to wear a head-scarf, then that is their right. Furthermore, the taxation of organisations of faith is immoral and disgusting. We also need to allow schools to choose what is best for their children. Catharina Richter Leader of the NPB |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
