| Message | Hmmm... The Freedom Party was considering this ourselves and we believe we would be in favour due to the freedoms of the general public being infringed if a protest gets violent and threatens their safety. |

| Message | I'm against this because I believe a group that protests should not be denied that right because of some aggressive individuals. |

| Date | 23:23:25, June 26, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian Alcoholic Par-tay | To | Debating the Hooligan control bill |
| Message | Surely if any person in public is actually commiting a crime (for example damaging property or assaulting somebody) they will be apprehended under current law anyway. This bill would merely become and excuse to infringe on freedom of assembly. |
| Date | 03:10:47, June 27, 2005 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Hooligan control bill |
| Message | We agree with our fellow senators from the Libertarian Alcoholic party (pardon, par-tah), and we would like to point out that inciting a riot is still a crime anyway. |
