| Message | "If Pontesi is against racism" - Big if with the Nationalist tendancies in some of the parties. |
| Date | 12:02:19, March 19, 2006 CET | From | One Nation Conservative Party | To | Debating the Ban Affirmative Action Act |

| Message | If it is left to local government, you will see a lot of confusion. For example there could be positive discrimination in some of the liberal northern states, yet in the southern states you end up with a situation of official discimrination against Majatrans and Muslims. |

| Message | Letting local governments, as mentioned by the Phalanx Party, only complicates matters. With five separate regulatory schemes, companies are going to have difficulties meeting the requirements for doing business in all five regions. |

| Message | As much as the CBP dislikes positive discrimination, we feel the local authorities should have the opportunity to impose restrictions if their local populations see reason in it. |
