| Message | "Mr. Speaker, The fact that the Austonean Social Democrats would have more posts than the SNPP undermines the "equal" part of the proposal." Edward Long SNPP President |

| Message | "Mr. Speaker, Indeed. You can't first form some 'Anti-LD coalition' and then form a government with us. The voters gave us a majority of our own, thus we are democratically required to vest power. If the SNPP wished to become part of the government - we'll be open to that but we'd need some kind of 'carrots' that our voters would appreciate - such as constitutional reform. There are several things that we wish to change such as lowering the number of Senators, and this would only be possible with their help." Jan Jansen LD Parliamentary leader |
