| Message | "And the Liberty Party want to give them control of your drinking water. Who's been drinking the Kool-Aid at the Church of Pantafloja?" - Frances Melroy (Internal Affairs) |

| Message | A badly worded bill. The slander and libel laws already allow for legal correction to be sought. If papers continue to print proven falsehoods they will continue to be sued. We want no newspaper content regulation. Let the market decide. |

| Message | "We were about to give the Liberal Party concessions on federalisation and yet we feel their support of the excesses of the Pantafloja's makes this impossible. They are all freedom no responsibility. If you are anarchist leftists, just admit it." - Jurgen Spitzman (deputy leader) |

| Message | Everyone looks like an anarchist to totalitarians like Mr Spitzman. |
